The depletion of petroleum-based resources and the adverse environmental problems, such
as pollution, have stimulated considerable interest in the development of environmentally …

Even though natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs) have been widely used
in automotive and building industries, there is still a room to promote them to high-level …

Plant fibers are increasingly used in fabricating polymer composite components useful in the
automotive, construction, and aerospace industries. This surge in the usage of plant fibers in …

The main factors in the ballistic impact mechanism, an incredibly complicated mechanical
process, are the target material's thickness, toughness, strength, ductility, density, and …

The need to provide a better and stronger protection against various kinds of ballistic
impacts and threats has necessitated the continuous exploration and utilization of high …

In the era of globalisation, decreasing synthetic resources, especially petroleum, have
encouraged global communities to apply biomass waste as a substitute material for green …

The main purpose of body armors is to restrict the ballistic impact (bullet velocity~ 300 to 500
m/s). The conventional rigid body armors are typically consisting of synthetic fibers (SFs) like …

The mechanical and ballistic performance of epoxy matrix composites reinforced with 10, 20,
and 30 vol.% of babassu fibers was investigated for the first time. The tests included tension …

The use of lightweight natural fiber functional composites in the manufacturing of ballistic
protective materials has garnered significant attention in recent years. This is due to their …

The study explores the ballistic impact performance of shear thickening fluid (STF)
impregnated sisal fabric panels with varying nano silica loadings (10 wt%, 20 wt%, and 30 …
