摘要 |
An exemplary apparatus providing a substantially optically transparent/translucent composite armor material is disclosed as having: a first layer of hard transparent material (i.e., a glass facing layer) adapted for attachment to a second layer of polymer backing (i.e., a kinetic layer) and a layer of elastomeric bonding material disposed between the first and second layers. Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, adapted or otherwise optionally modified to improve and/or modify the performance characteristics of the transparent/translucent armor composite. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention generally provide lightweight transparent/translucent armor for use as, for example, bulletproof windows in vehicles and buildings.
