Quote[/b] ]Neutralization of Chemical Warfare Agents NanoScale focuses on producing NanoActiveâ„¢ materials with enhanced physical and chemical properties. Inherent chemical reactivity centers around the high surface area of our NanoActiveâ„¢ materials, which can be greater than 700 m2/g; just twenty-five grams of NanoActiveâ„¢ material has the surface area of nearly 23 NFL football fields! Because of their exceptional porosity, NanoActiveâ„¢ materials have demonstrated the ability to destructively adsorb live chemical warfare agents and their simulants. NanoActiveâ„¢ materials also have the ability to adsorb toxic chemicals encountered in a variety of industries. Although activated carbon has been proven an effective absorbent, it only has the capacity to physically absorb. With simple physical absorption, a toxic substance remains attached to the surface of the material and can be released. NanoActiveâ„¢ materials have been proven to not only adsorb, but also destroy chemical warfare agents and their simulants. The page I got this from is here. Well, the scientists have done something cool again! Â Â 25 grams = nearly 23 NFL football fields of coverage? Â Â Check the page for graphs, comparisons and all the other things you'd expect. I'm gonna get me some Nanoactive materials sometime, especially if I ever have to go to a modern war. Â What do you think about this subject? Â Thinking about buying some?

Â Asmo I think i'm gonna start digging my own world... How deep do you think i'd have to go to be able to avoid radiation from all us smartasses nuking eachother?

I dont know but if you let me down there I can help you dig and bring some candles and a chess game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
