Hydrogen-bond acidic polymers are important high affinity materials sensitive to organophosphates in the chemical warfare agent sensor detection process. Interactions between the sensor sensitive materials and chemical warfare agent simulants were studied by inverse gas chromatography. Hydrogen bonded acidic polymers, i.e., BSP3, were prepared for micro-packed columns to examine the interaction...

General Medical operations in a CW environment will be complex. In addition to providing care in protected environments or while dressed in protective clothing, medical personnel will have to treat chemically injured and contaminated casualties, sometimes in large numbers. A mass-casualty situation occurs whenever the numbers or type of casualty exceeds the capabilities of the unit to treat and...

At the present study, different properties of Sarin with the formula [(CH3)2CHO]CH3POF was studiedin gas phase. Geometrical optimizations of Sarin, single point calculation, NMR and Electricalparameters were carried out in gas phase with the Hartee -Fock method coupled to 6-31g* basis setsfor all atoms. The results obtained from a comparison between tables and charts came up fordiscussion and a...
