摘要 |
Ballistic resistant sheets (12), articles (10) comprising such sheets and methods of making the same are provided. The embodiments are especially adapted to facilitate the manufacture of curved ballistic resistant articles (e.g. curved ballistic resistant armor, helmets and the like). In preferred forms, the ballistic resistant sheets are a multi-monolayer construction including a core layer (12-1) formed of at least one first monolayer having first unidirectionally oriented reinforcing fibers and an elastomeric matrix material which is sandwiched between respective face layers (12-2) each formed of at least one second monolayer having second unidirectionally oriented reinforcing fibers and a non-elastomeric matrix material. |
