Abstract

The body armor composites were fabricated by the mould pressing. The influences of resin type, fabric type and resin content on stab resistance of the composites were investigated. The results show that the stab resistance of Surlyn resin matrix composite is better than that of PU resin matrix composites. The stab resistance of Kevlar/Surlyn composite is better than that of UHMWPE/Surlyn composites. Kevlar/Surlyn composite with resin mass fraction of 47% has the best stab resistant performance.
