Task Spotlight

Characterization of Meso/Nanoscale Domains in UHMWPE Filaments - Polymers CMRG

The focus of the current work is to develop a more detailed understanding of how sub-filament cross section and along its length. Novel experimental techniques have been developed to identify modes of failure that occur at different length scales and to quantify the energy associated with each mechanism.
