Sergio N. Monteiro
We are happy to host Prof. Sergio N. Monteiro from the Military Institute of Engineering in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He studies natural fibers and their applications in ballistic armors. He has been collaborating with us on natural fiber – polymer composites since August 2014, time of Prof. Drelich’s visit in Rio de Janeiro.
His presentation entitled Ballistic armor for personal protection using natural fibers… Is it possible?, which took place on August 10 was well received at our department and by our research team, stirring new ideas for continuation of collaboration in the area of natural fiber – polymer composites.
