7) Multifunctional Materials for Protection
Abstract
Multifunctional Materials for Protection (MMfP) develops new materials for protective garment, filter, and coatings technologies that will absorb, neutralize, and repel chemical and biological warfare agents. This will reduce costs by extending service life. New materials can also reduce the heat burden of individual protection (i.e., boots, suits, masks, and gloves) and make it more natural to operate in. This will allow Warfighters to operate in individual protection gear for extended periods of time, reducing the necessity of early warning. MMfP replaces PFAS-based textile finishes and surface coatings. MMfP matures material technologies that transition to all physical protection thrust areas.
