Study on the Structure and Properties of Novel Impact Resistance Fabric Composites

Abstract:

In this study, the Kevlar fabric composites were prepared by shear thickening compound to get the high impact resistance. The characterizations of the produced polyborondimethylsioxane (PBDMS) have been obtained by Differential Scanning Caborimetry(DSC), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis(TGA), etc. The controlled stress rheometer was used to characterize the rheological property. Meanwhile the ballistic and stab tests of this Kevlar composite were investigated and found to exhibit significant improvement. The mechanism of energy absorbing was tentatively discussed. It showed that these novel energy absorbing materials could be potentially used to fabricate flexible body armors and high-grade sports accessories with good perspective.
