Composite Materials And Fibers Used In Ballistic Panel And Protective Armor Production

All living things need to protect themselves against attacks from outside world instinctively. And likewise, throughout history human beings not only have taken precautions against environmental factors but also against attacks from enemies. These precautions include precautions against leather, metal and metal derivatives, ditches, city walls and castles. And today, the combination of light fabrics having high resistance and elasticity with polymers forms the basis for ballistic panel and armour production. Investments in the area of ballistics, particularly military investments, as well as academic and military studies, indicate the significance of the issue. This study examines the characteristics of the composites used in ballistic panel and personal protective armour production; the combinations of the protectors made of composite materials and the ballistic tests applied to these protectors. This study which is a collection of the existing studies by examining them will provide literature support for studies on ballistic.
