Abstract
A protective shield (100) comprises a body (105) for protecting a user from a projectile or impact, the body comprising a front strike face (110) and an opposing rear face (115); and a connector arrangement (125, 126) provided on the body adapted so as to allow the shield to connect to an adjacent protective shield, wherein the strike face has a perimeter defined by the edges of the strike face; and wherein the connector arrangement is arranged so that an adjacent protective shield can be connected to the connector arrangement with the body of the adjacent protective shield abutting and/or overlapping with the strike face of the protective shield at any point about the perimeter of the strike face.

A protective shield comprising:
- a body for protecting a user from a projectile or impact, the body comprising a front strike face and an opposing rear face;
- and
- a connector arrangement provided on the body adapted so as to allow the shield to connect to an adjacent protective shield,
- wherein the strike face has a perimeter defined by edges of the strike face;
- wherein the connector arrangement is arranged so that an adjacent protective shield can be connected to the connector arrangement with the body of the adjacent protective shield abutting and/or overlapping with the strike face of the protective shield at any point about the perimeter of the strike face;
- wherein the body comprises a composite structure comprising at least one layer comprising graphene and a second layer comprising an aerogel;
- and
- wherein the composite structure is arranged between (i) the strike face and rear face, and/or (ii) so as to at least partly define the strike face and/or the rear face.
