| Session 1: Advanced Materials for Homeland Security | ||||
| Location: C 115 (Greater Columbus Convention Center) | ||||
| (Please check final room assignments on-site). | ||||
| Session Description: The job of homeland defense and security not only rests with the plethora of Government agencies responsible for meeting a country’s security needs, but also with their scientific, engineering and medical communities that develop and bring new technologies to market. Advances in materials science and technology, for example, provide troops, first responders, and public facilities with improved capabilities and levels of protection. Materials R&D programs develop advanced sensors and materials that are directly applicable to homeland security needs. The papers presented in this symposium cover three areas of advanced materials technology for homeland security: 1) novel sensor technologies for chemical and biological agents, 2) materials for explosive detection and blast mitigation, and 3) advanced materials such as catalysts and coatings on surfaces, adsorbents and fibers for agent degradation and personnel protection. | ||||
