Description:

With increasing international and civilian conflicts, developing advanced body armor materials has become an emerging field in academia and industry. Nanotechnology, by means of, incorporating nanomaterials, is considered a highly effective technique to achieve this goal, owing to high strength-to-weight ratios and excellent energy absorption capability of nano materials. This review discusses uses of lightweight materials such as metal matrix composites, polymer composites, ceramic matrix composites, fiber composites in defense sectors. The findings indicate that introducing micro- and nano-fillers coating on armor fabrics is a promising method for high ballistic impact resistance and impact energy absorption of the hybrid composite laminates. Such comprehensive review would motivate the futuristic bullet-proof armor materials with enhanced efficiency for the development of a protective environment.
