A Lunar Space Elevator [LSE] can be built today from existing commercial polymers; manufactured, launched and deployed for less than $2B. A prototype weighing 48 tons with 100 kg payload can be launched by 3 Falcon-Heavy's, and will pay... more
Dynamic properties of materials such as aramid and polyethylene fiber reinforced composites are rarely found in the literature, in spite of their significance in ballistic design. It is also difficult to find detailed descriptions of the... more
The cut and puncture resistance of thermoplastic (TP) impregnated, woven aramid fabric is characterized under quasi-static and dynamic stab testing conditions. Polyethylene, Surlyn®, and co-extruded polyethylene–Surlyn films of various... more
Synthetic fiber ropes are characterized by a very complex architecture and a hierarchical structure. Considering the fiber rope architecture, to pass from fiber to rope structure behavior, two scale transition models are necessary, used... more
Blends containing PVC and aramid (Ar) matrices were probed for their miscibility. In this respect, Ar chains were synthesized by aromatic diamine and diacid chloride in amide solvent. The Ar thus synthesized was characterized through... more
Nanocomposites from organoclay and aromatic polyamide were prepared using solution intercalation method. Aramid chains were synthesised by reacting 4aminophenylsulfone with isophthaloyl chloride in dimethylacetamide. Dodecylamine was used... more
A series of segmented multiblock copolymers containing aramid hard segments and extended polycaprolactone soft segments (with an M n of 4,200 or 8,200 g mol-1) was prepared and tested for their shape-memory properties. Chain extenders... more
