Research abstract

Current clothing worn by soldiers offers little to no protection from biological agents, as biological agents may remain active on the textile surface or even pass through the textile. Luna Innovations is developing textiles capable of rendering lethal biological agents harmless on contact. This self-decontamination is achieved by covalently attaching highly effective biocides to the textile surface. Biological agents are immediately exposed to the biocide on contact with the textile rendering the biological agent inert. Covalent attachment permanently affixes the biocide to the textile allowing long-term protection even on repeated laundering. Luna’s proven expertise in polymer synthesis, surface modification and biocide synthesis will advance biocidal textiles from initial Phase I demonstrations through full technical development and eventual commercialization.
