Abstract

En 中文

• SIBSTAR™ copolymer shows >600% strain and exceptional energy absorption under impact. • Multilayer targets with SIBSTAR enhance ballistic limits compared to single-material systems. • SIBSTAR demonstrated pseudo self-healing capacity due to its extreme hyperelastic capacity. • ALE3D simulations accurately replicate experimental ballistic performance of polymer targets. • Nanostructured SIBSTAR improves impact resistance and energy dissipation mechanisms.
