INTRANASAL DELIVERY OF NOVEL PEPTIDE THERAPEUTICS

Not Available Triton Systems proposes an innovative nanotechnology that will develop novel transparent nanocomposites with high abrasion- and scratch-resistance, high barrier to chemical agents, superior flame-resistance and weatherability characteristics, as well as high ballistic strength. These nanocomposites will be based on Polycarbonate, and will significantly expand its already wide usage by enhancing its properties. We will use two parallel technical approaches to achieve our ambitious objectives. We will ensure the success of both approaches of the proposed effort by careful control of the filler morphology, its surface chemistry, and the processing parameters. These nanocomposites will serve numerous applications of the US Army as well as commercial markets, viz., aircraft windows, helicopter canopies, vision block for vehicles, safety goggles and face shields for soldiers, architectural glazings, lenses, public transit windows etc. BENEFITS: This successful Phase I will develop an enabling technology that will benefit many military and commercial applications including helicopter canopies, aircraft windows, architectural and security glazings, goggles and face-shields for soldier and chemical laboratory personnel, as well as smart materials systems.
