Abstract
Sorption reinforced catalytic coating system for the degradation of threat agents including a synzyme coating about a material, the synzyme coating having bucket-shaped molecules for the sorption and degradation of the threat agents. A binding agent is configured for synzyme immobilization to maximize loading and retention of the synzyme coating on the material.
Claims57
A coating system for the degradation of threat agents comprising:
- a polyurethane coating on a material configured to provide attachment and stabilization of one or more enzymes and for the sorption of threat agents;
- an enzyme coating including the one or more enzymes, the enzyme coating on the polyurethane coating and configured to degrade the threat agents;
- a first binding agent that immobilizes the enzyme coating on the polyurethane coating;
- a synzyme coating on the enzyme coating for the degradation of the threat agents, the synzyme coating including sorption molecules configured to sorb the threat agents;
- and
- a second binding agent that immobilizes the synzyme coating on the enzyme coating.

A method for making a coating system for the degradation of threat agents, the method comprising:
- coating a material with a polyurethane coating configured to provide attachment and stabilization of one or more enzymes and for the sorption of threat agents;
- coating the polyurethane coating with an enzyme coating including the one or more enzymes configured to degrade threat agents;
- exposing the enzyme coating to a first binding agent that immobilizes the enzyme coating on the polyurethane coating;
- coating the enzyme coating with a synzyme coating for the degradation of the threat agents, the synzyme coating including sorption molecules configured to sorb the threat agents;
- and
- exposing the synzyme coating to a second binding agent that immobilizes the synzyme coating on the enzyme coating.
