title = "Methylcellulose solutions as shock absorbers",
abstract = "During the last few years, we have been exploring the potential of aqueous methylcellulose solutions as materials which can absorb the energy of shocks and mechanical impacts. This paper provides an overview of the key steps of this exploration, which includes the basic mechanical properties of methylcellulose hydrogels, the mechanism by which solutions of methylcellulose are thought to perform the impact-energy mitigation, and some more advanced work in compositing these materials with additives whose role is to improve performance in fields requiring a significant material response and high attenuation of shock energy.",
