“…The heterogeneous nature of composite materials due to its multiphase characteristics at macroscopic level gives an added advantage, wherein they exhibit the best qualities of their components along with unique properties 8,9 . The significant role that the polymer matrix plays on ballistics is further supported by the fact that delamination has been shown to be an influential factor governing ballistic response and performance 10,11 .…”

Continuous development, improvement and innovation of ballistic material systems with superior energy absorption performance has been the subject of numerous works nowadays. Some research has been carried out with the objective of replacing traditional metallic and ceramic materials and composites with high-performance polymeric composites. Due to their excellent properties, multiscale polymer composites have been used in the most varied segments of the industry, being recently researched in applications such as ballistic materials. This work promotes the combination of highstrength three-dimensional woven aramid fiber fabrics with vinyl ester resin to produce a panel through the compression molding process. The resin was reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3% wt). The impact, tensile and flexural strength were evaluated, along with dynamic-mechanical analysis by DMA and by Hopkinson split bar test, indicating a trend of better performance for the composite containing 0.1% of graphene nanoplatelets.
