DTP-079: Bio-Inspired Materials and Devices for Chemical and Biological Defense

By James J. Valdes and Erica R. Valdes DTP-079

This report addresses materials for synthetic matrices of chemical and biological defense using a conceptual platform known as the abiotic networked threat system (ANTS). This system is based on lessons learned from biology, incorporating abiotic homologues to biological recognition events and metabolic pathways to provide programmable capabilities to sense and respond to environmental threats.
