Design and development of bulletproof vest using kenaf fibre embedded with x-ray films

Existing bulletproof vests are either too heavy, or too expensive. Therefore, a more effective performance, user friendly, lighter and cheaper bulletproof vest is desired. This study discusses tensile characterization and high velocity impact testing on new materials to replace the existing insert p...
