Research Progress of Bulletproof and Stab-Resistant High-Performance Fibers and Composite Materials
In this paper,the research status of bulletproof and stab-resistant fiber composites was summarized from the perspectives of fiber types and fabric structures.The application and mechanism of aramid fibers and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers in the field of bulletproof and stab-resistant composites were analyzed in detail.The characteris-tics and applications of new high-performance fibers,such as poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole)fibers,poly(2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-phenylenepyridinediimidazole)fibers and"spider silk"fibers,were introduced briefly.It also summarized the test standards of bulletproof and stab-resistant clothing at home and abroad,then it discussed the development trend of bulletproof and stab-resistant fiber composites,in order to provide a reference for the design and fabrication of higher performance bulletproof and stab-resistant composite materials.
