Overview

Research demonstrates improved tensile and flexural strength in armor plates using kevlar and epoxy resin, suggesting enhanced ballistic protection.

Key Points

  • Sample AP5 showed the highest tensile strength of 71.25 MPa and flexural strength of 141.20 MPa, indicating superior mechanical properties.
  • Thermogravimetric analysis revealed significant differences in thermal degradation properties among samples, highlighting their stability.
  • Ballistic tests confirmed that AP5 effectively resists penetration from 7.62mm rounds at distances of 100m and 75m, pointing to its structural integrity.
  • The findings emphasize the need for optimizing composite designs to improve defense applications against varying impact conditions.
