This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will determine how certain critical steps in the synthesis of reactive nanoparticles (RNP) can be transformed from batchwise to a continuous process. This research is critically needed in order to develop a commercially viable process for manufacturing RNP materials for applications in both the civilian and military marketplaces. RNP materials and related technologies hold great promise for meeting a number of critical and high-value needs. Military applications include personnel protection, demilitarization, and decontamination. Nantek's proprietary RNPs are capable of destroying both chemical and biological warfare agents. Applications include destroying chemical weapon stockpiles; developing topical skin protectants against chemical agents; and materials for decontaminating equipment and personnel. Civilian uses include kits for counter-terrorism and safety response for the chemical industry. RNPs are effective against a wide range of toxic compounds, including PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and dioxins, and can remove acid gases from industrial emissions. With the number of important commercial applications growing, it is critical that the synthesis of these nanostructured materials be simplified into a commercially viable process. RNPs are truly a dual-use enabling technology capable of meeting a wide range of critical and high-value needs in both the military and civilian marketplaces. In the military area Nantek is developing RNPs to destroy chemical and biological warfare (CBW) agents for (1) personnel protection, (2) demilitarization, and (3) decontamination. In the civilian marketplace, potential products include materials and devices for counter-terrorism, and emergency response kits for accidental spills and releases in the chemical and biochemical industries.

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目将确定反应性纳米颗粒（RNP）合成中的某些关键步骤如何从分批转化为连续过程。为了开发一种商业上可行的工艺来制造适用于民用和军用市场的RNP材料，这项研究是迫切需要的。 RNP材料和相关技术在满足许多关键和高价值需求方面具有很大的潜力。 军事应用包括人员保护、非军事化和去污。 Nantek专有的RNP能够摧毁化学和生物战剂。应用包括销毁化学武器库存;开发针对化学制剂的局部皮肤保护剂;以及用于净化设备和人员的材料。 民用包括用于反恐和化学工业安全反应的成套工具。 RNP可有效对抗多种有毒化合物，包括PCB（多氯联苯）和二恶英，并可去除工业排放物中的酸性气体。 随着重要的商业应用数量的增长，将这些纳米结构材料的合成简化为商业上可行的工艺至关重要。RNP是一种真正的两用技术，能够满足军事和民用市场的广泛关键和高价值需求。在军事领域，Nantek正在开发RNP，以销毁化学和生物战剂（CBW），用于（1）人员保护，（2）非军事化和（3）去污。在民用市场，潜在的产品包括反恐材料和装置，以及化学和生物化学工业中意外泄漏和释放的应急反应包。
