Abstract

The outer shell of the bulletproof fabric is one of the important parts that help the shield in performing its function of protection in the best way. In this paper, there are two types of high-performance materials used as the outer shell and finished with knife coating with fluorocarbon and polyurethane coating to improve the performance of the two materials. Five laboratory tests were conducted for both materials to show their functional performance efficiency, the ballistic test was applied using two types of calibers 7.62x54MSC and 7.62x54API. A scanning electron microscope was conducted to show the coating effect on samples. Paired sample T-tests were used to show the differences between variables. An improvement was shown in the performance for both ballistic nylon and Cordura after treatment. Finally cordura is more durable, as it recorded the highest value in Puncture test and less damaged, while ballistic nylon recorded the highest value in the abrasion resistance after the same treatment.

采用聚氨脂处理防弹背心外壳，提高软芯线和弹道尼龙的性能

防弹织物的外壳是使防护罩发挥最佳防护功能的重要部件之一。本文采用两种高性能材料作为外壳，并用氟碳涂层和聚氨酯涂层进行刀涂，以提高两种材料的性能。对这两种材料进行了五次实验室测试，以显示其功能性能效率，弹道测试使用两种口径7.62x54MSC和7.62x54API。用扫描电镜观察了涂层对样品的影响。配对样本t检验用于显示变量之间的差异。处理后，弹道尼龙和科杜拉的性能均有改善。最后，cordura更耐用，在穿刺测试中记录了最高的值，并且损坏更少，而经过相同处理的弹道尼龙的耐磨性记录了最高的值。
