Novel Fabric Containing Microcapsules of Chemical Decontaminants Encapsulated within Semipermeable Polymers.
Abstract
The invention concerns novel clothing fabrics containing microcapsules in a resin finish comprising reactive chemical decontamination agents encapsulated within a semipermeable polymer which is selectively permeable to toxic chemical agents but impermeable to the decontamination agents, thereby allowing the toxic chemicals to diffuse into the microcapsules where they undergo irreversible detoxifying chemical reactions.
