This is a very timely review of body armour materials and systems since new test standards
are currently being written, or reviewed, and new, innovative products released. Of greatest …

With increasing international and civilian conflicts, developing advanced body armor has
become an emerging field in academia and industry. Nanotechnology, by means of …

This study presents the dynamic stab resistance and quasi-static mechanical properties of
soft armor materials constructed with Kevlar fabric impregnated with a novel shear …

The role of shear thickening fluid (STF) in enhancing the impact resistance of STF treated
fabrics has long been debated. There is a need to clarify whether the dominant mechanism …

This study presents some soft armour panel design strategies using shear thickening fluid
(STF) reinforced Kevlar® fabric. The effect of size of silica nano and sub-micron particles on …

The main focus of this review is on soft composites, relatively new to the literature. The
ballistic fabrics, mechanism of ballistic energy absorption and parameters affect the ballistic …

In this study, stiff stab-resistant materials for riot shields were developed by using fiber
reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) made of three different types of fibers: carbon, glass …

Impact resistant and force-sensitive yarns are the crucial components of intelligent wearable
protective textiles. However, it is still a challenge to combine liquid impact resistant materials …

The current study focus on the multi-phase Shear thickening fluid (STF) treated high-strength
fabrics which is an promising material for soft-wall containment casing. Three types of multi …

Shear thickening liquid (STF) is a reversible phase change material that can realize “liquid-
solid” transformation when subjected to high-speed impact shear, and return to the liquid …
