This study engaged first-principles Density Functional Theory (DFT) within the Generalized
Gradient Approximation (GGA) with the flavor of Perdew-Burke-Enzerhof parameterization …

Polyethylene is a widely used plastic exhibiting a large range of properties that depend on
molecular weight, crystallinity, chain branching, and cross-linking. In this study, the sound …

The response of high explosives (HEs), due to mechanical and/or thermal insults, is of great
importance for both safety and performance. A major component of how an HE responds to …

Polymer bonded explosives (PBX) are kind of particulate-reinforced composite materials in
which interface interaction is of great significance to its structural and mechanical features. In …

In this research, a group of segmented polyurethane (PU) copolymers with different hard
segment (HS) contents were successfully synthesized. The microstructure of the PU …

We employed high-pressure Brillouin scattering to study the pressure dependencies of
acoustic modes of glycerol up to 14 GPa at 300 K. We observed longitudinal acoustic …

This work provides an energy saving strategy for strengthening and toughening
fluoroelastomer (linear F2314) by using liquid fluorine rubber (HTLF-700). A series of semi …

The relationship between the molecular structure of polymeric binders and mechanical
properties of a TATB‐based polymer bonded explosive (PBX) were studied by using five …

The neutral polymeric bonding agent (NPBA) was selected to enhance the interface
adherence between 1, 3, 5-triamino-2, 4, 6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) crystals and …
