To enhance the antibacterial activity of natural rubber latex foam (NRLF), chitin was added
during the foaming process in amounts of 1–5 phr (per hundred rubber) to prepare an …

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the blast response of functionally graded
composite metallic plates, fabricated using explosive welding. Explosive welding is a solid …

Porous materials are widely used in the field of protection because of their excellent energy
absorption characteristics. In this work, a series of polyurethane microscopic models are …

In this paper, impact attenuation and blast-wave mitigation are effectively realized by the
dissipative stratified metamaterials with negative mass mechanism due to the coupling of the …

In the process of developing energetic materials, it is necessary to evaluate the explosive
power of energetic materials, especially the destructive effect of shock waves. Overpressure …

The blast wave mitigation efficiency of open-cell natural rubber foam is compared in
laboratory and field test setups. Blast wave mitigation is evaluated in terms of the peak …

This book provides a practical platform to the readers for facile preparation of various forms
of carbon in its nano-format, investigates their structure–property relationship, and finally …

Instantaneous release of energy and pressure waves is always associated with every blast
and explosion. The amount and the rate of release of energy depend upon the type and …
