Los Angeles, CA - January 24, 2008
--Material Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:
MTTG -News;
"MATECH") Chief Engineer has been invited to
present technical presentations at several upcoming engineering
conferences, focusing on the application of MATECH's Electrochemical
Fatigue Sensor (EFS) system to the inspection of metal bridges.
Having been through an exhaustive peer-review process, MATECH
is confident that there is significant community interest in
the EFS system.
MATECH's inspection system is capable of identifying actively
growing fatigue cracks in bridge members with accuracy and
precision never before available. In fact, Dr. Brent Phares,
MATECH's Chief Engineer, indicates that the information that
can be gained from an EFS inspection gives bridge engineers
the tools needed to effectively manage a bridge infrastructure
that is nearing the end of its design life. Beyond being applied
as a traditional tool, Dr. Phares explains, "EFS gives
bridge engineers information to know which conditions need
immediate attention and which can be deferred." Further,
he cites, "EFS allows a bridge owner to immediately know
whether a repair has been successful or not in halting further
fatigue damage."
In June the EFS system will be highlighted at the 7th International
Conference on Steel Bridges to be held in Portugal. At this internationally
attended conference Dr. Phares will discuss how to improve the
inspection, maintenance and management of steel bridges with
the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor system.
Later on in June the EFS system will be presented at the Structural
Faults and Repair conference to be held in Scotland. During that
conference Dr. Phares will give an oral presentation on the cost
effectiveness and safety improvements from EFS inspections: case
study in Pennsylvania.
In July the EFS system will be presented at the 4th International
Conference on Bridge Maintenance, Safety, and Management, which
will be held in Korea. At this internationally attended conference
Dr. Phares will give a presentation on how to improve the inspection,
maintenance and management of steel bridges with the Electrochemical
Fatigue Sensor system.

MATECH is an engineering, research and development company specializing
in technologies to measure microscopic fractures and flaws in
metal structures and monitor metal fatigue in real time. The
company's leading edge metal fatigue detection, measurement and
monitoring solutions can accurately test the integrity of metal
structures and equipment including bridges, railroads, airplanes,
ships, cranes, power plants, mining equipment, piping systems
and heavy iron.
MATECH owns the only nondestructive testing technology able
to find growing cracks as minute as 0.01 inches-critical information
that allows structural engineers to isolate and repair the more
than 100,000 steel bridges in the US which have been classified
as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete by the Federal
Highway Administration. MATECH has exclusive rights to seven
patents along with $8.3 million in already completed contracts
from the US Government for research, testing and validation of
its innovative solutions.
