Effect of Aging on Unidirectional Composite Laminate Polyethylene for Body Armor

Effect of Aging on Unidirectional Composite Laminate Polyethylene for Body Armor

The construction of ballistic-resistant body armor is experiencing an increasing use of flexible unidirectional (UD) composite laminates that comprise multiple layers. Each UD layer contains hexagonally packed high-performance fibers with a very low modulus matrix (sometimes referred to as binder re...
