Molecular simulations of mechanical properties for polymer materials The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) was activated 25 years ago with a mission to discover, innovate and transition science and technology to ensure dominant strategic land power. One of key research strategies at ARL is a development of superior protection systems for individual warfigter and vehicles. The protective systems often use polymers due to […] Categories: Events and Seminars, Past Seminars, Uncategorized |
