A secret I share with the world...

Metal Rubber is a broad, informal name for several conductive plastic polymers with metal ions produced by a company called NanoSonic, Inc, in cooperation with Virginia Tech. This self-assembling nanocomposite is ultra flexible and durable to high and low pressures, temperatures, tensions, most chemical reactions, and retains all of its physical and chemical properties upon being returned to a ground state. The possible uses of such a product include superior body armor, durable electronic sensors, various aerospace-building materials, and alternate commercial building materials. And yet it still conducts electricity when dipped in jet fuel!

Right now, I am asking the company if I can buy a 6 inch sheet of the stuff. I read the description, and they are consiedring this stuff available to only companies that are researching the material. If they can look at it and play with this stuff, then so should I right?

Ok, so I contacted the company, and I asked if I could make a pruchase of the metal rubber, and they tould me:
