DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Phase I work has demonstrated the fabrication of a thin, strong, lightweight composite material that could be scaled up from the laboratory to industrial pilot quantities. The phase I material shows no breakthrough flux of mustard and nerve agents (HD and GB) (actual chemical warfare agents) for over 48 hrs, which exceeds the current 8hrs criteria for suits, as verified by an Army certified laboratory. The composition presents a powerful self-decontaminating, triple defense concept- Chemical agent deactivation, barrier effect and biocidal effect. In addition the material is moisture vapor permeable (breathable) but not air permeable. The biocidal activities of the composites against Anthrax surrogate Bacillus var. niger spores and Anthrax spores were firmly established. Typically 4-5 log reductions (total kill) were noted when the samples were exposed to Anthrax, Bacillus spores and other pathogens. The capacity to kill over 70 million anthrax spores! 50 cm2 of the phase I material was recorded. The phase II would concentrate on optimizing the assembly of the membrane to an outer shell fabric. The optimization of the thickness, composition, and production parameters will be done. Quantitative kill kinetic curves for aerosolized Anthrax spores and certain viral and bacterial species will be established. The deactivation of chemical agent kinetics and resistance to aerosol penetration will be demonstrated. A reputable team of experts from the Army laboratories and textile industry has been assembled to carry out all the qualifying tests for such a material. The protection factor offered by these suits will be characterized by the Army materials laboratory. Commercial partners have been identified. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: The market size for the protective clothing for civilians, police, medical personnel and fire fighters for domestic preparedness is expected to be 2 billion dollars by year 2004. ICET's market share is estimated to be about 200 million dollars five years after commercial entry.

描述（由申请人提供）：第一阶段的工作展示了一种薄而坚固的轻质复合材料的制造，该材料可以从实验室扩大到工业中试数量。经过陆军认证实验室的验证，第一阶段材料显示芥子气和神经毒剂（HD 和 GB）（实际化学战剂）在超过 48 小时内没有突破通量，超过了目前防护服的 8 小时标准。 该组合物呈现出强大的自净化、三重防御概念——化学剂失活、屏障作用和杀菌作用。此外，该材料可透湿气（透气），但不透气。复合材料对炭疽替代芽孢杆菌的杀菌活性。黑孢子和炭疽孢子已牢固建立。当样品暴露于炭疽、芽孢杆菌孢子和其他病原体时，通常会出现 4-5 个对数减少（总杀灭）。杀死超过7000万个炭疽孢子的能力！记录了 50 cm2 的 I 相材料。 第二阶段将集中于优化膜与外壳织物的组装。将完成厚度、成分和生产参数的优化。将建立气雾化炭疽孢子和某些病毒和细菌物种的定量杀灭动力学曲线。将证明化学剂动力学的失活和对气溶胶渗透的抵抗力。来自陆军实验室和纺织行业的著名专家团队已经组建起来，对这种材料进行所有资格测试。这些防护服提供的防护系数将由陆军材料实验室进行表征。商业合作伙伴已确定。 拟议的商业应用： 到2004年，用于平民、警察、医务人员和消防员的国内防备防护服的市场规模预计将达到20亿美元。ICET的市场份额在商业进入五年后估计约为2亿美元。
