EXHIBIT 10.3

     EKOR (COMPONENT A) I BLOCK COPOLYMER MANUFACTURING LICENSING AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made as of the effective date on the signature page at the end
of this Agreement by and between NuSil Technology, a California corporation,
having a place of business at 1050 Cindy Lane, Carpinteria, California 93013,
(hereinafter referred to as "Manufacturer" or "NuSil"), and EUROTECH, Ltd., a
District of Columbia corporation, located at 1216 16th St., N. W. Washington, DC
20036, (hereinafter referred to as "Licensor" or "Eurotech").

WHEREAS Eurotech has a worldwide (except Russia) exclusive license from
Euro-Asian Physical Society of Moscow, Russia to a certain family of products
jointly known as EKOR and the same to the key block copolymer ("Polymer"), which
i s used to produce EKOR Component A of EKOR ("Paste A"), and

WHEREAS Eurotech intends to transfer under the conditions set forth in this
Agreement all the needed parameters of the Paste A and Polymer manufacturing
technology, and

WHEREAS Eurotech desires a production facility in the USA that is capable of
producing commercial volumes of the Paste A, and

WHEREAS Eurotech will provide to NuSil the market and projects for Paste A
delivery and sales, and

WHEREAS NuSil desires to produce Polymer and Component A , and

WHEREAS NuSil has the capability to support the technology transfer and produce
the Polymer and Paste A, and

WHEREAS NuSil desires to sell Paste A to the markets and projects provided by
Eurotech, and agrees to pay to Eurotech certain licensing fees based on such
sales,

NOW THEREFORE, In consideration of the material covenants and undertakings
hereinafter set forth, NuSil agrees to manufacture and supply the Polymer and
the Paste A as set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the terms and
conditions that follow.

1. Technology transfer.

1.1 This Agreement will commence with the technology transfer for making of
Polymer and Paste A.

1.2 Polymer. Eurotech will provide all the necessary scientific support to
transfer the technology of Polymer, including finished charts and the techniques
and types of raw materials necessary for the process of the production of the
Polymer currently used in Russia for production of the same and chemists to
assist in this process. This process for making Polymer has already been
submitted for the Patent.

1.3 NuSil will provide the lab facilities and technical personnel required to
support such works. NuSil will translate and adjust the technological charts in
accordance with the US equipment and will make available the pilot production
facilities to produce small batches of Polymer in the amounts of 100s of kilos.
The Polymer obtained from the pilot production facilities will be independently
tested by the EAPS scientists for fitness to produce EKOR and if necessary the
process of producing Polymer will be modified by the combined efforts. The
Polymer technology transfer process will be considered successfully completed
upon acceptance by EAPS scientists of the structure of the Polymer produced on
the pilot industrial equipment.

1.4 Eurotech will identify all needed fillers to be mixed with Polymer and
conditions of their mixing, and will make EAPS scientists available for
technical assistance to NuSil to produce Paste A.

1.5 NuSil will provide technical personnel and the mixing equipment (mixers,
mills) in accordance with the requirements to obtain Paste A. The Paste A
technology transfer process will be considered complete when NuSil demonstrates
the ability to produce an EKOR Paste A formulation acceptable to EAPS
scientists.

2. Term

2.1 This Agreement will commence as of the complete execution date of the
Agreement, and shall continue for a period of one (l) year therefrom, unless
earlier termination under the Agreement and automatically, from year-to-year
