Multifunctional polymer neutralizes both biological and chemical weapons

Thursday, March 18, 2010 - 10:56 in Biology & Nature

In an ongoing effort to mirror the ability of biological tissues to respond rapidly and appropriately to changing environments, scientists from the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine have synthesized a single, multifunctional polymer material that can decontaminate both biological and chemical toxins. They described the findings recently in Biomaterials.
