The internal deformation evolution of the ceramic/UHMWPE laminate body armor backface under ballistic impact by Wei Wu, Yihui Zhu, Haiwen Sun, Yang Song, Zhuangqing Fan, Min Xia

“…By taking the derivative of the traction curves and using 50% of the maximum derivative width as the boundary, the maximum traction velocity is found to be 739.80 m/s, and the profiles exhibit the characteristics of an exponential function under different boundary widths. Secondly, setting fixed constraints around the impacted ceramic fragments can better simulate the extrusion and fracture of the equivalent layer on the contact surface, with minimal impact on the formation of cracks, spalling, and bulging. …”

Characterization of polyethylene and polyurethane microplastics and their adsorption behavior on Cu2+ and Fe3+ in environmental matrices by Ilaria Zanoni, Lucia Briccolani, Lara Faccani, Magda Blosi, Simona Ortelli, Matteo Crosera, Giovanna Marussi, Stefania Albonetti, Anna Luisa Costa

“…Both materials showed in bidistilled water negative zeta potential (ZP) at natural pH (ZP = − 51.0 ± 4.3 mV at pH = 6.6 and ZP = − 29.5 ± 1.4 mV at pH = 5.6 for LDPE and PU, respectively), justified by the presence of surface-active charged impurities. In saline media, ZP vs. pH curves were flatter, with ZP values near 0 mV, confirming the reduced colloidal stability from higher ionic strength and double-layer compression. …”

First-Principles Study on the Modulation of Schottky Barrier in Graphene/Janus MoSSe Heterojunctions by Interface Contact and Electric Field Effects by Zhe Zhang, Jiahui Li, Xiaopei Xu, Guodong Shi

“…Here, we investigate the physical properties of the heterojunctions formed by the contact of different atom planes of Janus MoSSe (JMoSSe) and graphene (Gr), and regulate the Schottky barrier of the Gr/JMoSSe heterojunction by the number of layers and the electric field. Due to the difference in atomic electronegativity and surface work function (WF), the Gr/JSMoSe heterojunction formed by the contact of S atoms with Gr exhibits an n-type Schottky barrier, whereas the Gr/JSeMoS heterojunction formed by the contact of the Se atoms with Gr reveals a p-type Schottky barrier. …”
