The ballistic impact characteristics of Kevlar® woven fabrics impregnated with a colloidal shear thickening fluid
@article{Lee2003TheBI, title={The ballistic impact characteristics of Kevlar® woven fabrics impregnated with a colloidal shear thickening fluid}, author={Y. S. Lee and E. Wetzel and N. Wagner}, journal={Journal of Materials Science}, year={2003}, volume={38}, pages={2825-2833} }
This study reports the ballistic penetration performance of a composite material composed of woven Kevlar® fabric impregnated with a colloidal shear thickening fluid (silica particles (450 nm) dispersed in ethylene glycol). The impregnated Kevlar fabric yields a flexible, yet penetration resistant composite material. Fragment simulation projectile (FSP) ballistic penetration measurements at ∼244 m/s have been performed to demonstrate the efficacy of the novel composite material. The results… Expand
