BALLISTIC PERFORMANCE OF POLYCARBONATE COMPOSITES: A REVIEW

Polycarbonate (PC), a transparent polymer, is widely recognized for its remarkable ability to resist ballistic impacts, preventing penetrations and punctures.The amount of die is consistently the predominant factor affecting its performance.The review provides a comprehensive view of the mechanical properties and potential applications of PC matrix composites, evaluating their performance, including V50 speed limit and energy absorption through ballistic testing.Finally, applications from the last 5 years are described to show the current state of this composite material.
