Polyurethane (PU) is one of the largest polymer products in the plastic family. Structural and
non-structural applications of PU and its variants have become a common and effective …

Auxetic structures are a special class of structural components that exhibit a negative
Poisson's ratio (NPR) because of their constituent materials, internal microstructure, or …

Polyurea has drawn the attention of construction activists and engineers as a modern
building material due to its unique structure, unique properties, and relatively easy …

Polyurea has attracted extensive attention from researchers and engineers in the field of
blast and impact protection due to its excellent quasi-static mechanical properties and …

The impact resistance of Polyurethane (PU)-based polymer concrete was investigated using
U-shaped specimens tested on a newly designed drop-weight impact test device. The PU …

The main focus of this review is on soft composites, relatively new to the literature. The
ballistic fabrics, mechanism of ballistic energy absorption and parameters affect the ballistic …

Experiments have shown that the ballistic performance of the steel plate improves
significantly after coating polyurea at the impact face. However, the strengthening …

Experimental studies were conducted to investigate the ballistic resistance of polyurea
coated low carbon alloy steel plates subjected to cubic fragments. In the tests, low-or high …

Calcium sulfate whisker (CSW)-reinforced paraffin (PA)/gypsum composites were prepared
using PA as the phase change material, gypsum as the matrix, and CSW as the …

Material jetting, particularly PolyJet technology, is an additive manufacturing (AM) process
which has introduced novel flexible elastomers used in bio-inspired soft robots, compliant …
