excellent mechanical properties and good processability. Commercial functionalized copolymers contain ca. 10 wt. % PDMS and are either segmented polyurethanes or polyureas that utilize polycarbonate or polyether as soft segments. They can be utilized in the manufacturing of intra-aortic balloons The anti-thrombogenic property of PDMS based polyurethanes is also utilized in artificial heart grafts, vascular grafts, implants and other

Although carbofunctional silanes and polysiloxanes are known about 40 years they are still often used, and in a literature continually appear new examples of their applications for the modification of properties of polymers and other materials. The CFS have found many different applications for a preparation of polyurethane coating materials, having very good and useful properties. Bis-(3-triethoxysilyl)propyltetrasulphide) is used for the modification of natural and synthetic rubber (Sombatsompop et al., 2007), other CFS are applied for the preparation of silica in elastomers (*in situ*), and for the modification of calcium carbonate,

An interest of research centers concerning the CFS and CFPS is still growing and broadens a scale of their numerous applications for modification of polymers. They have a great technological meaning. So far the carbofunctional silanes and polysiloxanes have found many practical applications: these first – mainly as adhesion promoters, polymer modifiers, and crosslinking agents for polyolefins, these latter - in the synthesis of different siliconeorganic copolymers with very profitable properties. Perspectives of their further applications seem to be very promising, and especially for the modification of properties of different organic polymers, not only thermoplastics, but also elastomers, chemically hardenable polymers and thermosetting plastics. The carbofunctional silanes are more often used in practice than CFPS. A main barrier in applications of carbofunctional polysiloxanes on a bigger scale is a high cost of their production. However the chemical modification of polymers with CFPS has a very profitable influence on properties of the modified polymers. In this Chapter we have been able to describe only a part of results concerning applications

**Advantages of Low Energy Adhesion PP for Ballistics** 

*1Centro de Investigacion Cientifica de Yucatan,* 

W.J. Cantwell2 and Ricardo A. Gamboa-Castellanos1

This chapter shows the advantages of low interfacial adhesion thermoplastic matrix, such as polypropylene (PP), and how it can result in improvements to an aramid fabric for ballistics. In addition to the excellent properties for which it is already well known, the purpose here is to highlight a different aspect, i.e. the advantage of poor adhesion on a fabric arrangement for high velocity impacts, where the basis is related to energy dissipation by matrix debonding, thereby generating load redistribution between primary and secondary yarns in the composite. Another advantage is the weatherproofing aspect conferred to the fabric by the matrix, which protects it from harsh environments. Resistance to frontal impact with high speed projectiles was compared in two arrangements; woven aramid/PP on a consolidated configuration and woven aramid/PP on an independent configuration. The methodology for this comparison consisted in establishing impact energies tested on both configurations; before, during and after penetration, identifying the perforation threshold, V50, and measuring

Polypropylene (PP), one of the most widely used polymers all over the world, has now become the commodity polymer par excellence. One of the most important properties placing it above others is a versatility which allows it to be modified and designed for specific applications, along with an excellent balance of physical, chemical and mechanical properties. Due to the rheological and thermal behavior of molten materials, the materials based on this resin offer an extended period of processability, from injection molding to blown film extrusion. Whichever is the case, thermoplastics offer greater advantages over thermosets given the dexterity with which these materials can be molded, simply by the

All these properties conferring such versatility to PP are highly dependent on the degree of crystallinity, which in turn depends on the stereoregularity of the polymeric chain, a term known as tacticity. PP can present three types of tacticity; isotactic, syndiotactic and atactic,
