Shockwave Loading of Metal-Fluorocarbons and Detonation-Like Phenomena

Shockwave Loading of Metal-Fluorocarbons and Detonation-Like Phenomena 

A number of metal/fluorocarbon materials have been studied with respect to their response on exposure to a shock wave. As mentioned earlier, Davis et al. found indications for a sustained shock wave in compressed Ti/PTFE (80/20) (3.39 gcm , 89.2% TMD) initiated by a steel flyer [28].
