Enhanced impact energy absorption and failure characteristics of novel fully thermoplastic and hybrid composite bicycle helmet shells

Current research realize to develop a safer, lighter and higher energy absorbing fully thermoplastic (polypropylene fibres and acrylic Elium resin) and hybrid composite helmets (polypropylene/carbon hybrid and Elium resin) and perform the CPSC 1203 certification tests on different anvils. The failur...
