Research Progress of New Bulletproof Composite Materials: A Review

Based on the current development and application background of bulletproof impact materials, this article mainly introduces the classification of new bulletproof composites. According to the different structural materials, it can be mainly divided into hard and soft composites, as well as soft and hard complex bulletproof composites. The bulletproof mechanism and advantages of these three types of bulletproof composites and new liquid bulletproof composites are discussed. Then, the main factors affecting the bulletproof performance of aramid fiber composites, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber composites, and shear thickening fluid/high-performance fiber composites of new liquid bulletproof materials were analyzed. Finally, common bulletproof standards at home and abroad were listed and compared.
