BALLISTIC PROTECTION MATERIALS
Ballistic 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.

ABSTRACT To confront extreme space environments, a combination of inorganic and organic coatings can provide a pathway for offering highly durable radiation resistance and anti‐friction simultaneously. Herein, a strong interfacial 3D hydrogen‐bonding network is designed to create robust hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) based polymer coatings with ...

Ballistic composites – protecting the protectors
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.

Influence of Strain Rate and Temperature on the Mechanical Behaviour of Armour Steels
Abstract Armour steels are high‐strength alloys widely used in vehicles and protective structures due to their outstanding ballistic resistance. This work investigates the tensile behaviour of different Armox steels under the combined effects of high strain rate and elevated temperature.
