METHOD FOR WRAPPING OF CERAMIC TILES FOR ARMOR APPLICATIONS, A WRAPPED CERAMIC TILE FOR ARMOR APPLICATIONS AND AN ARMOR SYSTEM CONSTRUCTED WITH A WRAPPED CERAMIC TILE FOR ARMOR APPLICATIONS

摘要

A method of making an armor component that includes wrapping a ceramic tile with a plurality of wrappers that are impregnated with a curable polymer, and forcing the curable polymer into microscopic surface cavities of the ceramic tile by isostatically pressing the wrapped ceramic tile while curing the curable polymer to obtain an armor component that includes the ceramic tile integrated with the wrappers.
