Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs—sometimes called thermoplastic rubbers) are a chemically-bonded combination of multiple polymers ("copolymer")—typically a plastic and a rubber—that have both ...
The rising demand for sustainable concrete stems from resource scarcity, environmental concerns, and structural performance needs. Preplaced Aggregate Concrete (PAC) improves durability and efficiency ...
Polymer coating is widely used as a protective layer in various fields such as surface anti-corrosion, anti-penetration and anti-impact. How to enhance the mechanical properties of coatings such as ...
Rock burst disaster affects underground mining safety. The energy-absorbing hydraulic support for preventing tunnel impact has been implemented in rock burst mines. In order to compare the impact ...
Engineers developed a way to quickly test metamaterial architectures and their resilience to supersonic impacts. They plan to use it to identify new metamaterial designs that could form the basis for ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Jeffrey Steele has been a freelance writer for one-third of a century. Rendering of a Lewisboro, N.Y. disaster-resilient home by ...
Certain creatures have unique microstructures in their exoskeletons that enable them to withstand heavy impacts continuously over time. These Bouligand structures can be found in the mantis shrimp, ...
Researchers developed a new system to fire tiny beads and test how polymer films would react to projectile impacts. The top row, in color, shows a 3D-view of the exit-side of impacts. The middle row ...
