The present invention relates to the field of a protection system based on composite material used in ballistics. The application relates to a two-steps light and heat curable resin composition, a process of forming in a first step a prepreg using said resin and in a second step a protection system comprising the laminated composite of the invention.

A ballistic composition, ballistic assembly, and method for fabricating the ballistic assembly. The ballistic composition comprises a curable material, and a particulate component. The particulate component is adapted to impose a tortuous path on a projectile. The particulate component includes polymer, ceramic, metal, or any combination thereof.

An armor assembly configured to be mounted to a vehicle to protect it from an expected explosion. The armor assembly comprises at least two layers, each contacting an adjacent one of said layers. One of said layers is a perforated layer and another one is a covering layer. The perforated layer is made of a material of a first density, and having a first surface configured to face towards the vehicle when the armor assembly is mounted thereto, and a second surface opposite thereto. The perforated layer is formed with a plurality of holes each having an opening at least at said second surface. The covering layer is made of a material of a second density which is greater than the first density and is configured to be permanently bent by said explosion into the openings, at opening covering portions of the covering layer, to such a depth as to restrict sliding movement at least between the two layers.

There is provided an anti-ballistic aerospace structure, said structure comprising a strike layer defining an outwardly facing surface and an opposing capture layer defining an inwardly facing surface and an intermediate structural layer arranged between the strike layer and capture layer, wherein the intermediate structural layer is spaced relative to the strike layer to define a space between the intermediate structural layer and the strike layer, said space comprising one or more reinforcement elements, and wherein the strike layer is formed of a fiber reinforced plastic laminate comprising at least one metallic layer.

An antiballistic armor-plating component, includes a ceramic body made of a material comprising, as percentages by volume, between 35% and 55% of silicon carbide, between 20% and 50% of boron carbide, between 15% and 35% of a metallic silicon phase or of a metallic phase including silicon.

A multi-layer structure includes a glass layer having a thickness of greater than or equal to 10 μm and less than or equal to 200 μm; and a resin layer. A number of unit lamination structures in a thickness direction of the multi-layer structure is greater than or equal to 5 and less than or equal to 20,000, the unit lamination structure being a lamination structure composed of the glass layer and the resin layer.

In a first aspect, an article includes an inorganic substrate and a polymer film layer. The inorganic substrate includes a material including a ceramic, a glass, a glass-ceramic or a mixture thereof. The material includes a metal cation selected from the group consisting of silicon, aluminum, titanium, zirconium, tantalum, niobium and mixtures thereof and oxygen. The polymer film layer includes a polymer including an imide group. From an interface where the inorganic substrate contacts the polymer film layer, a line-profile of a CNO— signal from negative secondary ion mass spectroscopy decreases as it moves away from the interface and into the bulk of the polymer film layer.

A ballistic tile for use in an imbricated pattern of like ballistic tiles to achieve coverage of a protected area by the imbricated pattern, while having rounded corners to limit the potential for spalling on ballistic impact. The ballistic tile may include a strike face that is generally undulating to laterally deflect at least a portion of the impact force, and to induce turning of the ballistic projectile on impact to further distribute the impact force. The ballistic tile may also include one or more features on an obverse and reverse side thereof that, when arranged in an imbricated pattern, limit lateral motion of the tiles on ballistic impact, and/or laterally transmit the energy of the projectile for deflection and absorption thereof.

This invention relates to moisture curable polyurethane adhesive compositions and more particularly to moisture curable polyurethane adhesive compositions having improved initial tack and moisture permeability when cured. In one embodiment the disclosed moisture curable polyurethane adhesive compositions are suited for use as hot melt adhesives for use in manufacturing textile, clothing and/or footwear articles.

A pad for protective garments comprises an outer layer of heat and flame resistant material, and inner layer of heat and flame resistant material, and a cushioning layer disposed therebetween. The cushioning layer is produced from a non-newtonian material. A pad assembly may be formed using the pad along with a piece of flexible material attached thereto. The pad, or the pad assembly including the pad, may be used with protective garments such as firefighter turnout gear.
