The mechanical properties of polymers are becoming increasingly important as they are
used in structural applications, both on their own and as matrix materials for composites. It …

A set of processing conditions for cold spray deposition of an embedded particle layer on a
polymer substrate has been established using a dynamic impact model and verified …

This work addresses the large strain behaviors of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs)
spanning a range of fractions of hard and soft contents in both experiment and theoretical …

We present a reactive coarse-grained model that can more accurately simulate the interplay
between step-growth polymerization and phase segregation in elastomeric copolymers such …

Elastomeric polymers, such as polyurethane (PU), are being used in novel applications to
enhance the load-carrying capacity, ductility, and the survivability of structures under …

Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are useful materials for numerous applications due in
part to their outstanding resilience and ability to dissipate energy under large mechanical …

We present a microstructure-topology-based approach for designing macroscopic,
heterogeneous soft materials that exhibit outstanding mechanical resilience and energy …

In order to effectively improve the impact resistance of concrete, polyurea elastomer coating
with excellent impact resistance is obtained through formula design and performance …

Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) are block copolymeric materials composed of
plastomeric “hard” and elastomeric “soft” domains, by which they exhibit highly resilient yet …

This paper reviews the literature on the response of polymers to high strain rate deformation.
The main focus is on the experimental techniques used to characterize this response. The …
