A Study of Agent-Reactive Fabrics for Use in Protective Clothing.
Abstract
A broad investigation has been carried out in order to obtain modified fabrics which exhibit catalytic activity toward hydrolytic decomposition of chemical warfare agents. The major areas of study included the development of chemically modified Nomex and cotton-blend fabrics, mechanistic inquiries with regard to factors which control simulant/agent hydrolysis, and the design and construction of a suitable fabric testing apparatus for comparative evaluation of candidate fabrics.
