Micro-ballistic response of thin film polymer grafted nanoparticle monolayers
Subhadeep Pal, Sinan Keten
Abstract
μ-Ballistic simulations performed on the PGN thin films reveal a positive influence of cohesive energy density on the performance. PGN with heavier nanoparticles arrest bullets more rapidly, however, lighter particles exhibit a higher .
