Research abstract
There is an acute need for improved and reliable technology for capturing and neutralizing airborne chemicals for both military and civilian applications given the increasing threat of chemical warfare by terrorists or accidental release of airborne chemicals. Of particular concern are scenarios where a large plume of chemical agent is already airborne. Nanomaterials Research Corp (NRC) will during Phase I, demonstrate the proof-of-concept of a technology that could potentially contain and neutralize airborne chemicals. Phase II will further develop, optimize and test the technology. Phase III will commercialize this technology.
