Enhanced mechanical energy absorption via localized viscoplasticity of nano-cellular polymer coating under supersonic impact loading

Materials under viscoplastic deformation at ultrahigh strain rates (>106 s−1) often demonstrate anomalous properties due to thermal and stress localization. As a model system, thermoplastic nano-cellular material (NCM) coatings are produced by consolidating microscopic polystyrene shells of nanos...
