Impact resistant composite structure

摘要

An impact resistant composite structure is constructed of a facing portion designed to blunt and fragment an armor piercing-type bullet and absorbs some of the bullet's impact force, and a base layer designed to absorb and contain the remaining impact force of the bullet fragments. The facing layer includes a plurality of closely spaced ceramic tiles embedded in an adhesive elastic resin having a suspended mixture of polymeric microspheres, which isolate each of the ceramic tiles.
