DOI: 10.1016/j.matlet.2019.126818
Abstract: Abstract Ultrasound-assisted synthesis of diglycidyl ethers of isosorbide (DGEI) with different epoxy equivalent weight (EEW) with isophorone diamine (IPD) hardener have been performed. Interestingly, it was found that one specific epoxy formulation exhibits high reactivity… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym15061347
Abstract: The construction of ballistic-resistant body armor is experiencing an increasing use of flexible unidirectional (UD) composite laminates that comprise multiple layers. Each UD layer contains hexagonally packed high-performance fibers with a very low modulus matrix… read more here.
