This Phase II STTR proposal describes the development of a prototype enzyme-containing adhesive capable of attaching biocatalytic activity directly to skin. The adhesive, when containing organophosphorus-hydrolyzing enzymes, shall serve to protectunderlying skin from otherwise toxic applications of nerve agents and pesticides. Agentase, a recognized world leader in developing polymer-based carri ...

Clear Science Corp. and Syracuse University propose to design and demonstrate a closed-loop system for controlling flow separation on lifting surfaces over the transonic flight regime---offering the potential of significantly higher mission effectivenessin weapons like LOCAAS. Reduced-order models of the flow are required for control in real time, and these models must reflect the critical dyna ...

We propose a fundamental study of filamentation in air that will combine the theoretical expertise at the University of Arizona in simulating these nonlinear phenomena, the experimental facilities at the University of New Mexico in ultrafast diagnostics,and the experience at Lite Cycles, Inc. in the design and construction of high-power, short-pulse lasers. In Phase I of this program, we will mak ...

The objective of the work proposed herein is to develop innovative methodologies and techniques for the use of 3D woven composites with enhanced structural and ballistic characteristics for wide ranges of armor and structural applications. A family of 3Dintegrally woven composites, which utilizes multi-axial weave designs, have been examined and analyzed in the Phase I study. These innovative 3D ...

We propose a new way to reach a dramatic speed-up of floating gate memories by using quantum-mechanical tunneling through specially shaped (

We propose to develop dual infra-red UV solar-blind AlInGaN-based photodetectors by combining our novel Strain/Energy Band Engineering (SEBE) technology, selective area growth technique, and device passivation for the leakage current reduction with theMultiple Quantum Well design for using intersubband transitions for the infrared detection and band-to-band transitions for the UV detection.Dual an ...

This proposal entails the fabrication of selective permeable reverse microemulsion derived elastomeric membranes which are fabricated using rapid prototyping (RP) techniques. Rp offers a significant advantage in that it is capable of forming membraneshaving controlled porosity and microstructural architectures on a three dimensional level rather than the two dimensional level attained by conventio ...

The Zona technology/Duke University team process a challenging set of tasks to be accomplished in two years time that builds upon the very substantial progress already made in Phase I. Specifically, the 2D, Euler Euations CFD model (developed in Phase I)that uses a harmonic balance solution technique will be extended to include teh effects of viscosity (Navier-Stoke equations)and multiple structu ...
