Caltech, JPL designed megasupramolecule fuel additive reduces intensity of post-impact fuel explosions
Green Car Congress
OCTOBER 2, 2015
Researchers at Caltech and JPL used statistical mechanics to design a polymeric fuel additive that can self-assemble into “megasupramolecules” (≥5000 kg/mol) at low concentration (≤0.3 Caltech polymer (lower half) after a 140 mph projectile impact disperses fuel mist over continuously burning propane torches.
