Tensile and flexural properties of a newly developed bulletproof vest using a kenaf/x-ray film hybrid composite
Published 2018“…In terms of manufacturing cost and weight, current bulletproof vests are simply not optimized. This means that consumers and manufacturers alike desire a bulletproof vest that is more user-friendly, cheaper, and lighter. …”

Development of composite hybridization of kenaf fibre and x-ray film for aerospace ballistic impact applications
Published 2018“…This thesis aims at developing a novel hybrid composite material based on kenaf fibre and x-ray films and at analysing the obtained materials with regard to their mechanical properties, as well as high velocity impact and compression after impact behaviour, with a view to determining their potential to compete with existing high velocity impact resistant materials, which are presently used to fabricate the insert plates of bulletproof vests. The kenaf fibre used to reinforce the composites was treated with NaOH solution, and, for comparison purposes, composites were prepared with both treated and untreated kenaf fibre. …”
