Biological Bio-Composite Materials and Processes
Abstract
This effort conducts applied research through the application of biotechnology advances to develop materials with capabilities to respond and adapt to a wide range of external stimuli and biological processes. Research will explore new biology-based methods for controlled synthesis and assembly to create materials with precise chemistries, microstructures, properties, and responsive functionalities through controlled molecular placement, spatial architectures, and interfacial structures. Investment in bio-enabled materials research allows for the design of materials that are capable of sensing and responding, as well as adapting to a broad spectrum of environmental variables with the ability to self-monitor, self-heal, self-sustain, and self-degrade. Investments in this area could lead to future applications in Soldier performance, situational awareness, protection, and sustainment.
