Investigating ballistic impact properties of woven kenaf-aramid hybrid composites

In this study, the ballistic impact performance of woven kenaf-Kevlar hybrid and non-hybrid composites against fragment simulating projectiles (FSPs) was investigated. All the composites were prepared using the hand lay-up technique, method, followed by static load compression. The hybrid composites...
