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 structural applications such as primary structural component specifically for bullet proof and ballistic applications. The promising performance of Kevlar fabrics and aramid had widely implemented in numerous ballistic and bullet proof applications including for bullet proof helmets, vest, and other armor parts provides an acceptable range of protection to soldiers. However, disposal of used Kevlar products would affect the disruption of the ecosystem and pollutes the environment. Replacing the current Kevlar fabric and aramid in the protective equipment with natural fibers with enhanced kinetic energy absorption and dissipation has been significant effort to upgrade the ballistic performance of the composite structure with green and renewable resources. The vast availability, low cost and ease of manufacturing of natural fibers have grasped the attention of researchers around the globe in order to study them in heavy armory equipment and high durable products. The possibility in enhancement of natural fiber’s mechanical properties has led the extension of research studies toward the application of NFRPCs for structural and ballistic applications. Hence, this article established a state-of-the-art review on the influence of utilizing various natural fibers as an alternative material to Kevlar fabric for armor structure system. The article also focuses on the effect of layering and sequencing of natural fiber fabric in the composites to advance the current armor structure system.

“…The search for lighter and stronger armor materials has been increasing in proportion to the escalating power and sophistication in firearms development [1]. Research works are showing that polymer composites reinforced with natural lignocellulosic fibers (NLFs) present ballistic efficiency in multilayered armor systems (MAS), with front ceramic, comparable to synthetic aramid fabric, such as Kevlar™ [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17]. In general, NLF composites have the advantage of environmental sustainability in association with cost-effectiveness, lower density, and easy fabrication as compared to synthetic fibers composites [18,19,20,21].…”

“…Together with ballistic protection, recent works on nano and micro cellulose [22,23,24,25,26,27], are also disclosing special applications for NLFs. Among the several papers on ballistic application of NFL composites for MAS second layer stands those using curaua fibers (CF) [1,6,7,10,11,17]. This fiber, native of the Amazonian region, is extracted from the leaves of a plant, Ananas erectifolius , sharing the pineapple family.…”

Composites with sustainable natural fibers are currently experiencing remarkably diversified applications, including in engineering industries, owing to their lower cost and density as well as ease in processing. Among the natural fibers, the fiber extracted from the leaves of the Amazonian curaua plant (Ananas erectifolius) is a promising strong candidate to replace synthetic fibers, such as aramid (Kevlar™), in multilayered armor system (MAS) intended for ballistic protection against level III high velocity ammunition. Another remarkable material, the graphene oxide is attracting considerable attention for its properties, especially as coating to improve the interfacial adhesion in polymer composites. Thus, the present work investigates the performance of graphene oxide coated curaua fiber (GOCF) reinforced epoxy composite, as a front ceramic MAS second layer in ballistic test against level III 7.62 mm ammunition. Not only GOCF composite with 30 vol% fibers attended the standard ballistic requirement with 27.4 ± 0.3 mm of indentation comparable performance to Kevlar™ 24 ± 7 mm with same thickness, but also remained intact, which was not the case of non-coated curaua fiber similar composite. Mechanisms of ceramic fragments capture, curaua fibrils separation, curaua fiber pullout, composite delamination, curaua fiber braking, and epoxy matrix rupture were for the first time discussed as a favorable combination in a MAS second layer to effectively dissipate the projectile impact energy.

RESUMO O aço ainda é o material mais utilizado na produção de blindagens balísticas, especialmente blindagens de uso militar. Estes materiais quando submetidos a tratamentos térmicos adequados, permitem a melhora do seu desempenho enquanto blindagem balística. Os tratamentos térmicos de têmpera e revenido permitem obter a microestrutura martensítica revenida com elevada dureza sem perda na tenacidade, propriedades antagônicas para os aços e fundamentais para uma blindagem. Entretanto, a escolha da composição química do aço e/ou tratamentos térmicos inadequados podem gerar microestruturas que prejudiquem as propriedades mecânicas acima mencionadas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo apresentar a análise do aparecimento de microestruturas que afetem a resistência do material da blindagem balística após o tratamento térmico de têmpera e revenido em temperaturas de revenimento de 310 °C; 425 °C e 610 °C. A microestrutura do material utilizado neste trabalho, após os tratamentos térmicos foi investigada por meio de microscopia eletrônica e ótica, bem como por difração de raios X, indicando mudanças microestruturais no material estudado relevantes para as propriedades balísticas. Os tratamentos de revenido apresentados neste trabalho com temperaturas mais elevadas não alcançaram a dureza mínima estabelecida, em norma, para um material balístico.
