Ultra-thin Coatings on Kevlar for Enhanced
Force Protection
www.VaporPulse.com
VaporPulse Core Technology
A 10nm coating applied on nonwoven textile
Technology: • Ultra-thin coatings (<100nm) via a vapor
phase deposition process • Solvent free • Low temperature
• Polymers, biomaterials, textiles • <$1.00 to coat 1m2
• Batch Roll-to-Roll (>10m/min) Technical Advantages:
•Conformal •Uniform •Scalable •Flexible
Technology works very well for modifying hard-to-coat materials

Technology Demonstration Filtration for Chem/Bio Defense
New gas mask based unique nanofiber filter.
Nanofibers <100nm in size
Problem: Polymer nanofibers breakdown in presence
of chemical agents.
Solution: Depositing an ultra-thin (<3nm) coating stabilizes nanofibers in presence of chemical agents.

Enhanced Soft Armor
Payoff: Enhancement in the protection of concealed body armor for the Armed Forces aids their ability to move/interact more safely.
Problem: Kevlar protective equipment is cumbersome and it does not offer a wide spectrum of protection.
Why Care: Soldiers in small units often carry up to 130lbs of gear, this causes physical exhaustion and degrades performance while on mission. Reducing the burden on the warfighter is a top priority of the DoD.

Current Status
Current Status: TRL 2-3
Seeking funding to transition to TRL 6
End Product: A lightweight, high performance, concealable body armor with
both ballistic and stab protection and no added burden to the Warfighter.
Reduce weight in soft armor vests by 20%.

RFID tag detects the antenna activation signal
RFID tag sends pre-programmed information to the
scanning antenna
Passive tags
No battery needed, the power is supplied by the reader
Operational for up to twenty years
Read range ideally 1 to 10 meters
Cost effective, flexible and small compared to active tags
LF = Low Frequency
LF operates on 125 kHz
HF = High Frequency
HF operates on 13.56 MHz
UHF = Ultra High Frequency
UHF operates around 900 MHz
NFC = Near Field Communication
NFC operates on 13.56 MHz

Revolutionizing Metallic Biomaterials Will create biodegradable metals ( Mg based) with the promise that new kinds of
implants can adapt to the human body and eventually dissolve when no longer needed, eliminating multiple surgery and reduce health care costs “Imagine Implants with their own intelligence that adapt to biological changes of the patient and are automatically eliminated from the body after healing”
