Low-Velocity Impacts on Targets Containing Embedded Carbon Nanotubes

Accelerator Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A one stage Light Gas Gun (LGG) at CASPER [1] was employed to test the shielding capabilities of tiles composed of four different laminated nanotube combinations. These target tiles were named CSNEAT1, CSCNT1, HYCNTUT1 and HYCNTT1. For calibration purposes, a 3003- aluminum plate was also impacted and the craters formed on the various composition tiles compared.
