In quest to prevent debilitating traumatic brain injuries, new foam material rises to the top
From falls to football tackles, most blows to the head occur at odd angles. And those impacts trigger simultaneous linear and rotational head motions. The rotating movement in particular causes shear strain, which is especially damaging to the brain......»»
Developing a futuristic elastomer with ultrahigh strain-induced crystallization
Strain-induced crystallization can strengthen, toughen, and facilitate an elastocaloric effect in elastomers. The resulting crystallinity can be induced by mechanical stretching in common elastomers that are typically below 20%, with a stretchability.....»»
