Ballistic composites – protecting the protectors
Reinforced Plastics, 2017 It seems scarcely credible that thin polymer fibers, bound together in resin, can stop projectiles ranging from a hand-gun bullet to a high-power rifle round, but they can and have done so, saving many lives in the process. Composite body armor protects a wide range of civilians from security guards to police officers and from bailiffs to VIPs.

Direct Measurement of Explosive Impulse From Contact to the Ultra‐Near Field
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Measurement of impulse from explosive charges in contact and ultra‐near‐field regimes remains poorly characterised due to the short duration of loading, high strain rates, and the difficulty of obtaining direct momentum‐based measurements.

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 28, 6 July 2026.A fully metal‐free heterojunction constructed from graphdiyne (GDY) and polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) enables efficient coupling of CO2 reduction and tetrahydrofuran oxidation. GDY serves as a hole‐transport channel, establishing a built‐in electric field that drives spatial charge separation. The optimized catalyst achieves near‐unity selectivity for

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

steel research international, EarlyView.The high‐strain‐rate behavior of resistance spot‐welded DP800–DP1000 joints is investigated. Results show that microstructural gradients across BM–HAZ–FZ govern hardness, strain rate sensitivity, and failure modes. While strength increases with strain rate, energy absorption is controlled by ductility, with DP800–DP800 joints showing superior ...

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Sharp force trauma has been the leading cause of homicide in England and Wales for more than a decade. Experimental research on sharp force trauma frequently relies on animal bone as a substitute for human remains, yet their ethical acceptability and comparability to human bone remain contested.

Optimizing Viscoelastic Properties of Rubber Compounds for Ballistic Applications
Applied Sciences, 2020 Using interlayers of rubber adds a positive effect to the synergy of disruptor–absorber armors. Emerging from its viscoelasticity the material is able to transform mechanical stress into heat.

BALLISTIC PROTECTION MATERIALS
Textile and Garment MagazineBallistic vests are composed of particular high performance clothing. They could be reinforced by one or two armor panels according to the protection level and are designed to resist to attacks intended to upper parts of the body to save lives of its wearers.

Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT An inherent divide features within the Lisbon Treaty between civilian and military/security competences; something previously more obvious via the ‘pillar system's’ separations. This division follows the Member States (MS) (natural) protection of their military/defence autonomy; their core sovereign powers.
