Thermo-mechanical investigation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene for high strain-rate applications

Advanced polymeric materials, such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) are used in lightweight body armour because of their combination of good impact resistance with light weight. However, a broader use of such materials is limited by the complexity and cost of the manufacturing pr...
