Abstract
A method of fabricating a polymer composite material by mixing a polymer material with a planar material, depositing the mixture on a substrate, and stretching the resulting thin film, is described. Polymer composite materials produced using said method and ballistic resistant materials comprising said polymer composite materials are also described.
Claims20
A polymer composite material, comprising:
- a polymer material having a plurality of polymer chains, wherein the polymer chains are highly aligned;
- and
- a planar material, wherein the amount of the planar material is between 10 wt % and 40 wt % of the composite material.
A method of fabricating a polymer composite material, the method comprising:
- providing a polymer material and a planar material;
- mixing the polymer material with the planar material at a temperature greater than 200° C. to create a polymer mixture;
- depositing the polymer mixture on a substrate to create a polymer thin film;
- and
- stretching the polymer thin film to create a polymer composite material.
