Optimizing the Anti-stab Performance of Fiber Composites by Using Ceramic Particle Reinforcements

Abstract Fiber reinforced composite is widely used in current stab-proof equipment, the high performance and light weight have always been pursued for a long time. The present study optimizes anti-stab of fiber composites by using silica silicon carbide ceramic particle reinforcements. different processes structures were characterized. Silica reinforcements added to fabric form shear thickening fluid (STF). Quasi-static puncture tests results revealed that force prepared STF dilution process was significantly higher than sample without dilution. Under same areal density, with ratio 1:2 had improved 79.9% pure fabrics. Silicon particles/epoxy resin coating. After coated SiC particles, aramid not only greatly improves force, but also increases wear tool. dynamic test further showed / plain weave fabrics exhibited excellent stab-resistant performance.
