As destructive power of firearms raises over the years, ballistic armors are in continuous
need of enhancement. For soft armors, this improvement is invariably related to the increase …

Recently, UHMWPE fabric and composites have gained attraction in ballistics due to their
impressive strength-to-weight ratio and impact resistance. This article provides a critical …

Shear thickening fluids have been extensively utilized in composite laminate structures to
enhance the impact resistance in the last decade. Despite the contribution of shear …

A detailed and timely progress of soft body armour against stab and ballistic impact is
presented in this monograph. The classification and the evolution of body armour is briefly …

The use of Kevlar in the field of ballistic and stabbing protection has been studied by
researchers in polymeric composites for this purpose. This study presents complementary …

In this paper, we are reporting for the first time ability to tune the shear thickening behavior of
silica through synthesis of an organically modified silica. The organically modified silica …

This investigative work was carry out through a factorial planning, using Design of
