A study on the ballistic impact performance of neat and natural rubber latex-coated unidirectional (non-woven) high strength fabrics / Normala Hassim

This research explores the application of natural rubber (NR) latex as a thin coating matrix on unidirectional (UD) fabrics for ballistic impact applications. Pre-vulcanised NR lattices were used to coat ballistic fabrics mainly by the single dip method and half dip method. It was found that NR late...
