Trends in the Development of Synthetic Fibres for Armor Material

  • Published:
Fibre Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

Aramid fibres are still the fundamental variety of organic high-strength high-modulus fibres used in soft armor. In our opinion, fibres with high mechanical, primarily strength, indexes and with the corresponding level of supermolecular structure and its organization should be used for articles with different classes of protection. New kinds of chemical fibres and thread whose potentials as initial materials for soft armor could exceed the level of current textile materials are being developed throughout the world.
