Polymers are increasingly deployed in applications demanding precise energy absorption and structural integrity, from automotive safety devices to aerospace components. Their mechanical behaviour ...

When characterizing the strain rate sensitive deformation mechanics of materials, high strain rate testing is essential. Conventionally, in a standard nanoindentation test, a load is applied to the ...

Even though many industrial plastics are recyclable, a significant proportion of the plastic waste is not recycled because of the energy demand and cost associated with the process. Chemically ...
