Influence of moisture and thermal cycling on delamination flaws in transparent armor materials: Thermoplastic polyurethane bonded glass-polycarbonate laminates

Transparent armor laminates (TALs), manufactured from layers of soda-lime-silica float glass, thermoplastic polyurethane, and polycarbonate, are known to suffer unpredictable delamination in ambient-condition service, interfering with their transparency and reducing operational lifespan. The nature...
