Kenneth Carter and Soeun Kim have received the 2018 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Director’s Award: Science and Technology. For a scientific accomplishment that represents significant breakthrough recognized both within the Laboratory and externally. The award stems from work on adaptive protective and breathable garments for protection against chemical/biological warfare threats. They have developed materials that are responsive to chemical warfare agents (CWAs) Upon attack the CWAs are neutralized and concurrently the contaminated layer undergoes a exfoliation or shedding process to remove the threat from the surface. This is part of a DTRA funded project CBT-PHM-03, Dynamic Multifunctional Materials for a Second Skin [D(MS)2].
