Laminated glass breakthrough could save lives in blast events
The study looked at how the materials in laminated glass, like those in windows, hold up in explosions. They tested different types of plastic used in the glass at high speeds. One plastic got stronger at first, then weaker, while the other behaved differently. The way these plastics respond to quick forces can change how well they protect buildings and people from blasts. The study helps researchers figure out how to better predict how laminated glass will react in explosive situations.
