| Abstract: | The study investigates the ballistic resistance of high performance fabrics coated with natural rubber (NR). Ballistic Twaron fabrics were coated with high modulus prevulcanised NR. Samples were then tested for ballistic impact resistance by firing them with standard fragment simulation projectiles to determine the velocity at which there is fifty percent chance that the sample is completely penetrated by the projectile. A series of 2-,4-,6- and 8-layer fabric samples were tested for ballistic resistance through combination and arrangement of neat and coated layers. The results suggest that alternate layers of neat and coated fabrics in the fabric system would lead to higher ballistic limit as compared to neat samples. |
