“…Impact studies on composite laminates have always been an area of concern for various researchers globally [14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]. Impact is defined as the collision between two or more bodies, where the interaction between the bodies can be elastic, plastic, fluid, or any combination of these [23].…”

This review paper initially summarizes the latest developments in impact testing on polymer matrix composites collating the various analytical, numerical, and experimental studies performed since the year 2000. Subsequently, the scientific literature investigating nanofiller reinforced polymer composite matrices as well as self-healing polymer matrix composites by incorporating core-shell nanofibers is reviewed in-depth to provide a perspective on some novel advances in nanotechnology that have led to composite developments. Through this review, researchers can gain a representative idea of the state of the art in nanotechnology for polymer matrix composite engineering, providing a platform for further study of this increasingly industrially significant material, and to address the challenges in developing the next generation of advanced, high-performance materials.

“…Nevertheless, the ultimate aim of the antiballistic fibrous composites is to stop the projectiles from penetrating; therefore, researchers have mainly focused on sustaining the ballistic impacts via absorption of the kinetic energy, for understanding the response of the composite via failure of fiber and matrix, delamination in plies/layers, and the growth of the stress waves. , …”

“…A velocity with 20 m/s is considered as a threshold velocity, where a transition between higher and lower velocity impacts occurs. A velocity greater than 3 km/s is considered as hypervelocity, and these velocities are exhibited by moving satellite (equipped with high strength composites) debris in space, where they possess maximum chances of colliding, i.e., impact, with each other at such high speeds …”

Technological growth in advanced ammunition and weapons has led to development of protective antiballistic composites, which are mostly based on aramid fibers, as they absorb high impact energy, arising from penetrators. Enhanced performance of aramid fibers (modulus ∼ 112,400 MPa) is attributed to their compact molecular structure, hydrogen-bonding, high crystallinity, and high density (∼1.44 g/cm3). Methodologies such as layer-by-layer, shear thickening, yarn pull-out, and surface functionalization via nanomaterials have been reported for modification of aramid fibers, which are widely used with thermosets like epoxy (due to process-friendliness). Recently, researchers are exploring thermoplastics with aramids, due to their higher toughness, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. Modification of aramid fibers is mostly performed using nanomaterials, e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene, silk fibroins, SiO2, and ZnO, for enhancing their performance and minimizing fiber buckling under load. This Review presents advances in modification of aramid fibers using nanomaterials with emphasis on thermoplastics for protective applications, their stress transfer mechanisms, and life cycle analysis and concludes with their recycling/recovery methods.

“…2 Aramid and high-performance polyethylene fibers absorb kinetic energy of projectiles by delamination and bulging, while fiber breakge due to tensile and shear and matrix cracking are dominant failure mechanisms for glass and carbon fibers. In the study of Sastry et al, 8 Kevlar, E-Glass, and carbon fiber composites were compared against steel spherical projectile impact with 5 mm diameter. Resulsts revealed that Kevlar composites seemed to have better ballistic performance as compared to those with glass and carbon composite panels.…”

The aim of this study is enhancing the ballistic performance of multi-layered fiber reinforced composite structures by hybridization approach against fragment simulating projectile (FSP). For manufacturing of homogeneous and hybrid composite structures, 170 g/m2 twill weave aramid and 280 g/m2 plain weave E-Glass fibers were used with epoxy resin systems and two different thickness values for each composite panel were fabricated and tested to obtain a relationship between areal density and V50 parameters. Tensile, 3-point bending, and short beam strength tests of composite panels were performed, and ballistic performance of composite structures were measured by V50 test method with 1.1 g FSP threat. Ballistic performance of hybrid composite structures was compared with high-performance composite ballistic panel test results reported in literature. As a result, it was found that E-Glass fabric layers together with aramid fabrics increased the energy absorbing capability of hybrid composite panels and ballistic performance was enhanced to be similar or higher than ballistic fiber reinforced composites. Hence, hybridization was found to be an effective way to enhance ballistic performance of fiber reinforced composite structures.
