Hypersonic impact properties of pristine and hybrid single and multi-layer C3N and BC3 nanosheets

Abstract Carbon, nitrogen, and boron nanostructures are promising ballistic protection materials due to their low density and excellent mechanical properties. In this study, the ballistic properties of C3N and BC3 nanosheets against hypersonic bullets with Mach numbers greater than 6 were studied. T...
