Effects of Na neutralization level on the SH behaviour after ballistic tests of EMAA based ionomers

Ethylene-co-methacrylic acid (EMAA) based ionomers have thermo-mechanical properties strongly dependent on neutralization level of acid groups. Research revealed also how these materials are able to heal after ballistic impacts. In order to better understand the role of neutralization level on the Self-Healing (SH) behaviour, mechanical and...

Adapted processing routes for self-healing fibre-reinforced composites

Fibre-reinforced polymers development has been driven by the need for materials that combine high stiffness and low density, but composites based on thermoset matrices tend to remain sensitive to damage, that may occur early in the matrix. Improved efficiency could be gained by integrating functionalities into the structure, namely a self...
