Stab-resistant garments have been used for centuries, utilizing metals, paper, or polymeric
structures, often inspired by natural structures such as scales. Nowadays, stab-resistant …

Technological growth in advanced ammunition and weapons has led to development of
protective antiballistic composites, which are mostly based on aramid fibers, as they absorb …

Alumina fillers having different morphologies were used for reinforcement of PMMA-based
composite materials. The employed fillers had the same chemical composition but …

Impact resistant nanocomposites are recognized as promising in saving lives in the car,
skiing and bicycle accidents, preventing the failure of polymer-based prostheses and …

Multilayered composites based on aramid fabrics are widely used in impact protection. The
objective of this study is creating a new kind of multiaxial aramid fabric composites with …

Compared with aramid fabrics, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber unidirectional
(UHMWPE UD) composites have higher ballistic limited velocity at the same areal density …

Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs), which are flexible and elastic, have a great application
space in the field of flexible stab-resistant material. Although the performance of a pure TPU …

In this study carbon nanotubes (CNT) and silica nanoparticles (SiO 2) were added to
enhance the dynamic mechanical and anti-stabbing properties of the polyurethane/p-aramid …

The orifice coagulation bath method is proposed to encapsulate shear thickening fluid (STF)
to form STF capsules, in an attempt to improve the combination of STF and the matrix as well …
