Abstract
Composite anti-ballistic systems having multiple nested sub-laminates manufactured from layers of unidirectional monofilaments made from engineering fibers with anti-ballistic properties embedded in polymer matrix materials and interfacial materials engineered for controlled compliance, deformation, energy release and rate sensitive behavior.
Claims20
An antiballistic composite comprising:
- (a) multiple sub-laminate layers;
- and
- (b) viscoelastic dilatory material distributed as interlayers between said sub-laminate layers;
- wherein said viscoelastic dilatory material converts from soft compliant material to stiff interlayers when said composite is subjected to impact.

An antiballistic device comprising at least one antiballistic composite, said antiballistic composite comprising:
- (a) multiple sub-laminate layers;
- and
- (b) viscoelastic dilatory material distributed as interlayers between said sub-laminate layers;
- wherein said viscoelastic dilatory material converts from soft compliant material to stiff interlayers when said composite is subjected to impact.
