Application Research Development of Smart Materials on Personnel Armor Protective Materials

Abstract:

Integration of smart materials such as field-responsive fluid, i.e. Electro-rheological (ER) , magneto-rheological (MR) and shear thickening fluids (STFs), into armor protective materials, may probably solve the problem between its portability and protective performance. The wide applications of three fluids are described in brief in this paper, and research developments (especially STFs’ in detail) of armor protective materials strengthened by utilizing three fluids or chemical reaction material are summarized. Analysises are made of the questions faced by these composites researches. The foreground is talked about in the end.
