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 ...

The goal of this SBIR program is to develop a high Q (>10,000) tunable filter by using a cryogenic piezoelectric actuator to adjust the position of a split-ring stripline resonator made from high temperature superconductor. The critical technology in thiswork is the recent development of single crystal piezoelectric materials that have much larger field induced strains and piezoelectric propertie ...

Recently it was discovered that a relaxor ferroelectric copolymer consisting of poly(vinylidene flouride - trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) exhibits a dielectric constant >60, more than 20 times the values of existing polymer film capacitors. In this SBIRprogram, TRS Ceramis and its subsidiary Centre Capacitor will demonstrate the feasibility of using this materials for compact, high volumetric eff ...

For this SBIR Phase I program, TRS Ceramics and the Georgia Institute of Technology will develop a powder modification process and optimized sintering atmospheres for the fabrication of stoichiometric, high-density B4C ceramics. Use of carborane additivesis proposed to 1) increase the boron content in normally carbon-rich commercial powders and 2) improve the dispersion of B4C particles during si ...

This small business innovation research (SBIR) program will address the design and fabrication of a novel optical beam steering device employing relaxor based ferroelectric single crystals. A new family of nonlinear optical materials, namely,Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 single crystals (PZN-PT) which exhibit electro-optic coefficients that are 4-5 times higher than commercial lithium niobate crystals ...

Under Strike Force concepts being developed by several battle labs, future weapon systems will be agent-controlled. However,

In complex man-machine systems, increasing performance of computing and sensor technology often places proportionate new demands on system operators. For example, in Naval sonar systems, tremendous increases in sensor and signal processing capacity haveimposed increasingly difficult demands on sonar operators conducting search. Consequently, overall system effectiveness is reduced and varies wid ...
