CA 2526291
An armor composite material has been invented which contains a fabric which has been impregnated with shear thickening fluid. This invention offers a ballistic resistant material that is more flexible and less bulky than comparable, conventional ballistic fabric. The material in the alternative can be puncture resistant. The invented material offers superior ballistic performance and/or puncture resistance compared to conventional ballistic fabric-based materials of equal thickness. The invented material can be applied to applications requiring armor that is compact and/or flexible, such as body armor, protective clothing and flexible protective devices and shields, and stab resistant clothing and devices.
L'invention concerne un matière composite pare-balles contenant un tissu imprégné d'un fluide d'épaississement par cisaillement. Cette invention concerne, en particulier, une matière pare-balles plus flexible et moins volumineuse qu'un tissu balistique classique comparable. Une variante de cette matière peut être résistante à la perforation. La matière inventée offre une performance balistique et/ou résistance à la perforation supérieures à celles de matières balistiques classiques à base de tissu et de même épaisseur. Ladite matière peut être appliquée à des applications nécessitant une protection pare-balles compacte et/ou flexible, telle qu'un vêtement pare-balles, des boucliers et dispositifs protecteurs flexibles et vêtements protecteurs ainsi que des dispositifs et vêtements résistants aux coups de couteau.
