IMPROVED BALLISTIC COMPOSITES HAVING LARGE DENIER PER FILAMENT HIGH PERFORMANCE YARNS

摘要

There is provided a ballistic resistant composite including a plurality oflarge denier per filament (dpf) yarns whichare in contact with a resm to form a composite The resm may be thermosettingresm or thermoplastic resm The large dpf yarnsmay be assigned a "Composite- Armor dpf factor " calculated by CA-dpf factor =dpf yarn x (density yarn)3, where "dpf yarn is theyarn's filament denier and "density yarn is the yarns density.
