Title:
Flexible, Stretchable and Self-Healable Optoelectronic Materials for Detection Avoidance and Physical Protection
Agreement Number:
CFPMN1-008
Agreement Value:
$1,499,814.00
Agreement Date:
Aug 15, 2019 - Aug 14, 2022
Description:
The project aims to strengthen research on advanced materials for detection avoidance and physical protection by focusing on electronic and photonic materials for application in flexible and stretchable devices for electromagnetic shielding and camouflage featuring self-healing and biodegradability.
Organization:
National Defence
Expected Results:

To advance stretchable, flexible, and self-healing materials from a Solution Readiness Level (SRL) 2-3 to 4-5. The proposed research will focus on physical protection against non-kinetic threats, by exploring lightweight, flexible and biodegradable advanced materials for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and adaptive camouflage and mimetics.
