“…The ballistic resistance of multi-layer textile composites has been subjected to recent investigations [39,40] to demonstrate the influences of composite layup sequence. In this work, multi-layer models of the four fabric structures are constructed by stacking identical fabric layers into a five-layer model, with a clearance of 0.2 mm defined in between the layers to prevent element penetration.…”

“…Impact studies on composite laminates have always been an area of concern for various researchers globally [14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]. Impact is defined as the collision between two or more bodies, where the interaction between the bodies can be elastic, plastic, fluid, or any combination of these [23].…”

This review paper initially summarizes the latest developments in impact testing on polymer matrix composites collating the various analytical, numerical, and experimental studies performed since the year 2000. Subsequently, the scientific literature investigating nanofiller reinforced polymer composite matrices as well as self-healing polymer matrix composites by incorporating core-shell nanofibers is reviewed in-depth to provide a perspective on some novel advances in nanotechnology that have led to composite developments. Through this review, researchers can gain a representative idea of the state of the art in nanotechnology for polymer matrix composite engineering, providing a platform for further study of this increasingly industrially significant material, and to address the challenges in developing the next generation of advanced, high-performance materials.

“…It was attributed to the inter-layer interaction and yarn-to-yarn friction. 31,32 With the presence of poly(BA-a-co-PU) binder, a frictional contact between the projectile and aramid fiber-reinforced poly(80BA-a-co-20PU) composite was higher than that of the neat aramid fabrics. Therefore, the yarn slippage in the aramid fiber-reinforced poly(80BA-a-co-20PU) composite was significantly reduced, resulting in a lower bulge formation depth and a greater structural integrity.…”

Energy absorptions under ballistic impacts of aramid fiber-reinforced poly(benzoxazine-co-urethane) composites at urethane mass concentrations of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 wt.% were investigated. The energy absorption of the composite was investigated by subjecting eight plies of the specimen with 9 mm and .44 Magnum according to levels II and IIIA of the National Institute of Justice standard-0101.04. The composite having the urethane mass concentration of 20 wt.% exhibited the synergistic behavior in energy absorption at both levels II and IIIA. The 20 wt.% of PU composite also possessed the greatest tensile strength and modulus. The numerical prediction revealed that the ballistic limit of aramid fiber-reinforced poly(benzoxazine-co-urethane) ballistic panel was as high as 690 m s−1. High energy absorption capabilities of the composites can be tailored for fabricating the ballistic panels in soft armor applications.
