Syn Bio for Reactive-Resp Matls-Soldiers & Sys
Abstract
This Project designs and investigates materials through the application of biotechnology and synthetic biology advances to develop material capabilities that respond and/or can adapt to a wide range of external stimuli and biological processes. Research into innovative materials that are capable of sensing, responding, and adapting to a broad spectrum of environmental variables will be conducted. This Project will explore new biology-based methods for controlled synthesis and assembly to create multi-functional materials and advanced composites as well as develop materials that are able to self-monitor, self-heal, and self-sustain. This Project also focuses on developing models, materials characterization techniques, non-destructive testing methods, and advanced fabrication and processing methodologies as well as the identification of unique material properties. The cited research is consistent with the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
