Lightweight, flexible, anti-ballistic, inexpensive shielding material for body armor is described. It is created from anti-ballistic woven fabric material cut into multiple sheets of a desired shape, each having the grain of the woven material offset by 45 degrees from the adjacent sheets. The sheets are dipped into an epoxy employing carbon nanotubes. The nanotubes link to each other to result in diamond-like durability. The resulting sheets have exceptional tensile strength. A non-Newtonian shock absorbing material is adhered to the sheets, which has both liquid and solid properties. Upon impact, the local portions of the sheets are pushed into a depression and apply shear forces to the surrounding sheet and shock absorbing material, dissipating the energy over a larger area, allowing the shielding material to protect against a large ballistic impact.
