Dynamics of supersonic microparticle impact on elastomers revealed by real–time multi–frame imaging
Open accessAbstract
Understanding high–velocity microparticle impact is essential for many fields, from space exploration to medicine and biology. Investigations of microscale impact have hitherto been limited to post–mortem analysis of impacted specimens, which does not provide direct information on the impact dynamics. Here we report real–time multi–frame imaging studies of the impact of 7 μm diameter glass spheres traveling at 700–900 m/s on elastomer polymers. With a poly(urethane urea) (PUU) sample, we observe a hyperelastic impact phenomenon not seen on the macroscale: a microsphere undergoes a full conformal penetration into the specimen followed by a rebound which leaves the specimen unscathed. The results challenge the established interpretation of the behaviour of elastomers under high–velocity impact.

Films of 10% iPrSi-doped material stopped projectiles with the same efficiency as native pDCPD in LIPIT.
“High-speed imaging revealed that films of 10% iPrSi -doped material stopped projectiles with the same efficiency as native pDCPD (Fig. 3g, Figs. S14-S17, Table S2, S3).”
From Cleavable comonomers enable degradable, recyclable thermoset plastics (2020) · cites this paper as [29]
The Results describe high-speed imaging of impacts on PUU1000, PUU2000, and PDMS, not a comparison between 10% iPrSi-doped material and native pDCPD. Searches for those materials and equal projectile-stopping efficiency found no passage addressing the claim in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.77)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
