About
Pyridazine and Pyridazinone based Polymer Foams as Filtration Materials for Removal of Nucleophilic and Electrophilic Tech ID: UA16-167 Invention: This technology is the synthesis of a porous and sponge-like polymer foam that is capable of removing harmful substances such as chemical warfare agents, metals, and CO2. In addition, the material changes changes color when a reaction with a nucleophilic species occurs. Background: Using a Carboni-Lindsey reaction, Pyridazine and Pyridazinone based foams can be synthesized. These foams are effective in removing both nucloephilic and electrophilic chemicals and metals.
Key Benefits
- Produced from low cost starting materials - Changes color when a reaction with a nucleophilic species occurs
Applications
- Water and chemical warfare filtration systems - Odor control - Mine safety - Respiratory protection from chemical warfare agents - Lab safety and incident prevention
