Abstract
Protection from and removal of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) from the environment remains a global goal. Activated charcoal, metal oxides, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), polyoxometalates (POMs) and reactive polymers have all been investigated for CWA removal. Composite polymeric materials are rapidly gaining traction as versatile building blocks for personal protective equipment (PPE) and catalytic devices. Polymers are inexpensive to produce and easily engineered into a wide range of materials including films, electro-spun fibers, mixed-matrix membranes/reactors, and other forms. When containing reactive side-chains, hydrolysis catalysts, and/or oxidative catalysts polymeric devices are primed for CWA decontamination. In this review, recent advances in reactive polymeric materials for CWA removal are summarized. To aid in comparing the effectiveness of the different solid catalysts, particular attention is paid to the stoichiometric ratio of reactive species to toxic substrate (CWA or CWA simulant).

Abstract
In this study, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) scheme is combined with localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) detection on a thin gold film with stripe patterns of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) via convective self-assembly (CSA) method. The potential of dual modal plasmonic substrates was evaluated by binding 4-ABT and IgG analytes, respectively. SERS experiments presented not only a high sensitivity with a detection limit of 4.7 nM and an enhancement factor of 1.34 × 105, but an excellent reproducibility with relative standard deviation of 5.5%. It was found from plasmonic sensing experiments by immobilizing IgG onto GNP-mediated gold film that detection sensitivity was improved by more than 211%, compared with a conventional bare gold film. Our synergistic SERS-LSPR approach based on a simple and cost-effective CSA method could open a route for sensitive, reliable and reproducible dual modal detection to expand the application areas.

Facile Fabric Detoxification Treatment Method Using Microwave and Polyethyleneimine Against Nerve Gas Agents. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12122861.

Abstract
Generally, detoxification fabrics are defined as fabrics that remove or inhibit the production of toxic compounds, especially chemical warfare agents such as nerve gas agents. They are usually prepared using a complicated and time-consuming method. This study suggests a facile treatment method for preparing detoxification fabrics against nerve gas agents using polyethyleneimine and microwave curing. The detoxification properties of polyethyleneimine and microwave-treated polypropylene nonwoven fabric were evaluated using diisopropylfluoro-phosphate, which is a nerve agent simulant. The treated polypropylene fabric decontaminated 53.6% of diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) in 2 h at 32 °C, and the half-life of DFP on the surface of the treated fabric was 122 min. The result indicates that the treated fabric can act as a basic organocatalyst for the DFP hydrolysis and has a shorter half-life owing to the large number of amine groups. Therefore, the facile treatment method has the potential for use in the preparation of detoxification fabrics.

Abstract
This study investigates the detoxification properties of guanidinylated chitosan against chemical warfare agents and its application to the preparation of military protective clothing. Guanidinylated chitosan was synthesized by chitosan guanidinylation with cyanamide. The detoxification properties of the guanidinylated chitosan were then evaluated using a chemical warfare agent simulant, called diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP). Cotton fabric was treated with 1 wt.% of guanidinylated chitosan in acetic acid and water solution using the simple and conventional textile treatment method of pad–dry–cure. The detoxification properties of the guanidinylated chitosan-treated cotton fabric were evaluated to investigate the application of guanidinylated chitosan to the preparation of military protective clothing. Subsequently, 71.3% of DFP was hydrolyzed to non-hazardous diisopropylhydrogenphosphate (DHP) in 2 h because of the base organocatalytic activity of 0.02 g guanidinylated chitosan itself. Moreover, 60.1% of DFP was hydrolyzed by the catalytic activity of the guanidinylated chitosan-treated cotton fabric, which contained only 0.0002 g of guanidinylated chitosan. This result shows that the guanidinylated chitosan itself has detoxification properties for hydrolyzing DFP to DHP, and its detoxification properties can be more efficient when applied to cotton fabric because it showed 84.3% of the detoxification properties with only 1 wt.% of guanidinylated chitosan. For the first time, this study shows that guanidinylated chitosan has considerable detoxification properties and can be used as an agent to prepare protective clothing.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers (NFs) incorporated with catalytically active components have gained significant interest in chemical protective clothing. This is because of the desirable properties of the NFs combined with decontamination capability of the active component. Here, a series of metal hydroxide catalysts Ti(OH)x, Zr(OH)4, and Ce(OH)4 were incorporated into three different polymer NF systems. These new polymer/metal hydroxide composite NFs were then evaluated for their catalytic activity against a nerve agent simulant. Two methods were utilized to incorporate the metal hydroxides into the NFs. Method one used direct incorporation of Ti(OH)x, Zr(OH)4, and Ce(OH)4 catalysts, whereas method two employed incorporation of Ti(OH)x via a precursor molecule. Composite NFs prepared via method one resulted in greatly improved reaction rates over the respective pure metal hydroxides due to reduced aggregation of catalysts, with polymer/Ce(OH)4 composite NFs having the fastest reaction rates out of method one materials. Interestingly, composite samples prepared by method two yielded the fastest reaction rates overall. This is because of the homogeneous distribution of the metal hydroxide catalyst throughout the NF. This homogeneous distribution created a hydroxyl-decorated NF surface with a greater number of exposed active sites for catalysis. The hydroxyl-decorated NF surface also resulted in an unexpected highly wettable composite NF, which also was found to contribute to the observed reaction rates. These results are not only promising for applications in chemical protective clothing but also show great potential for application in areas which need highly wettable membrane materials. This includes areas such as separators, antifouling membranes, and certain medical applications.
