The high strain-rate behaviour of polymers and nanocomposites for lightweight armour applications

The need for efficient, lightweight armour solutions has never been so great as it is today. Increasing numbers of personnel, both military and civilian are being placed in an expanding variety of life-threatening situations, and we must recognise the responsibility to maximise their combat survivab...
