Description
This contract has already been awarded under the Dstl R-cloud agreement.
Summary. This project aims to develop a simple, easy-to-use method to destroy both chemical and biological warfare agents in austere environments.
Background. This project aims to investigate the feasibility of using plasma-activated air microbubbles to disable and eliminate a broad spectrum of CBW agents in a tactical environment. A plasma-activated air microbubble is a new approach to decompose chemical agents and to inactivate biological agent without using heat or neutralising reagents including acids. In this project, printed electronics and microbubble technologies will be merged to develop a rollable plasma reactor which can introduce microbubbles containing non-thermal air plasma. As the microbubbles can maximise contact surface area between reactive oxygen plasma species and CBW agents, the proposed plasma-activated bubble approach can effectively eliminate agents with low energy and minimal logistics cost.
