Aged and unaged PBIA-based copolymer testing for soft body armor applications
National Institute of Standards and Technology —
Traditionally, soft body armor has been made from materials such as poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA) and ultra-high molar mass polyethylene (UHMMPE). However,... -

Aged Body Armor- Linking Theory to Practice by Predicting Ballistic Performance from Mechanical Properties
National Institute of Standards and Technology —
We present correlations found between the tensile strengths of yarns extracted from armor and the V50 ballistic limit when significant degradation of the mechanical... -

Aged and unaged flexible unidirectional composite laminate tensile testing for soft body armor applications
National Institute of Standards and Technology —
Flexible Unidirectional (UD) composite laminates are commonly being used for ballistic-resistant body armor. These laminates comprise UD layers, each constructed by... -

Ageing of High Strength p-Aramid Fibers Used in Body Armor
National Institute of Standards and Technology —
To improve the reliability and design of armor, it is imperative to understand the failure modes and the degradation rates of the materials used in armor. Despite the... -
