Assistant professor of physics Kenneth A. Pestka II and Longwood undergraduate physics major Jonathan D. Buckley presented their research on the acoustic properties of self-healing polymers at the annual American Physical Society (APS) March Meeting of 2016. The APS March Meeting is the world’s largest annual physics conference with over 9,800 people in attendance for 2016.
Dr. Pestka spoke about, “Acoustic and ultrasonic characterization constraints of self-healing (ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) copolymers.” Kenneth Pestka II, Jonathan Buckley (16), Stephen Kalista, Nicholas Bowers
