"Development of chemical threat responsive carbon nanotube membranes is a great example of novel material's potential to provide innovative solutions for the Department of Defense CB needs," said Tracee Harris, the DTRA science and technology manager for the Dynamic Multifunctional Material for a Second Skin Programm. "This futuristic uniform would allow our military forces to operate safely for extended time periods and successfully complete their missions in environments contaminated with chemical and biological warfare agents."
The Laboratory has a history in developing carbon nanotubes for a wide range of applications including desalination. "We have an advanced carbon nanotube platform to build and expand to make advancements in the protective fabric material for this new project," Wu said."Development of chemical threat responsive carbon nanotube membranes is a great example of novel material's potential to provide innovative solutions for the Department of Defense CB needs," said #
The new uniforms could be deployed in the field in less than 10 years.
