Fundamental research of material properties, characterizations, interactions, and novel materials provides the Army with knowledge required to advance future technologies beyond current operational standards. With a focus on force protection, ERDC scientists and engineers are researching how polymer networks can be modified using different stimuli to alter materials. And ultimately, how these materials will perform at the point of failure.

Beyond the needs of the Warfighter, this advanced materials research technology may also be sought after for use in civil works applications.
