Abstract: A micronetwork made from microcapsules with or without nanomaterials and/or micromaterials such as microtubes, nanotubes and/or buckyballs; the micronetworks can be formulated to provide for unique properties such as reduction of crack propagation and/or corrosion.
Abstract: Method and composition for decomposing and detoxifying chemical warfare agents, organic toxic compounds (e.g., pesticides), and for removal of contaminants in materials including fuels. The method and composition are based on ferrate (VI). The ferrate is typically applied to a contaminated surface or volume with a phase transfer catalyst and/or with a carrier.
