摘要: The use of carbon nanotubes in composite hard armor is discussed this study. processing techniques to make various panels consisting Kevlar®29 woven fabric an epoxy matrix and the subsequent V50 test results for both 44 caliber soft-point rounds 30 FSP (fragment simulated projectile) threats are presented. A 6.5% improvement was found a combination 1.65 wt% loading milled fibers. failure mechanism during ballistic event through scanning electron microscope images after failure. Raman Spectroscopy also utilized evaluate residual strain fibers post shoot. shows shift 25 cm−1 fiber panel that had enhancement performance by using multi-walled nanotubes. Evaluating scenarios where improvem...
