Abstract

Various composite armors of woven and nonwoven fabrics were tested to develop an effective new, lighter and less expensive body armor. Woven and nonwoven aramid fabrics were prepared separately and their stab resistances were tested. They were then used to prepare pliable composites, whose stab resistances were tested. The optimal composite satisfied all the armor's requirements with reasonable weight and thickness.
