Zusammenfassung:A survey was carried out to suggest materials or processes which can improve chemical warfare agent (CWA) resistance while maintaining physical properties for a facepiece application. Adhesive bonding to silicone, coating/ surface modification of silicone, coprocessing with silicone, alternative designs, and alternative materials were reviewed. With only limited CWA resistance information available, and alternative design using currently available materials appears to be the best selection to meet the facepiece criteria. Keywords: Facepiece, Agent resistance, Aging, Storage, Wearability, Elastomers, Adhesive bonding, Coatings, Coprocessing.
