A uniquely qualified team consisting of ETSVP-JV, a small business joint venture, and subcontractor RTI International, brings together all of the skills and experience needed for the development and testing of innovative nanomaterial filters. For this Phase I SBIR project, we propose to develop a dual-stage nanoporous filter media for controlling PM2.5 and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Materi ...

Unregulated dioxin-like polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), in particular pentaBDE, commonly used as a fire retardant in furniture foam and plastic consumer goods, is spreading rapidly in the environment with levels in the human system doubling every 5 years. Although many European countries already have banned the use of pentaDBE in foams, there is a growing public demand in the ...

Perchlorate is a widely used component of solid fuel, missile and rocket propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics. It has been shown to reduce iodide uptake into the thyroid gland. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found perchlorate contamination in 18 states and believes contamination may exist in as many as 39 states. In early January 2005, the National Academy of Science ...

COALITION TECHNOLOGIES, LTD., (CTL) RESEARCH HAD IMPROVED A SIMPLE GAS PHASE TREATMENT (SULFONATION) OF WASTE RUBBER AND PLASTICS. RESULTS FROM LABORATORY SCALE EXPERIMENTS DONE AT MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY HAVE SHOWN THAT CONCRETE MADE FROM SULFONATED RUBBER AND PLASTIC PROVIDED BY CTL HAS IMPROVED IMPACT RESISTANCE AS MEASURED BY ASTM STANDARD TESTS. IN MANY CASES, WASTE PLASTICS AND RUBBER ARE ...
