Popis: Anti-ballistic fabrics find numerous technical applications in research areas of defense, firefighting aviation, aerospace, police, civil defense and other day-to-day applications. These fabrics basically provide protection against high impact causing objects like sharp knives, bullets, stones, etc. The design and selection of fabrics should be coupled with functional finishes which would provide protection and comfort for the wearer. The prime objective of this work is to evaluate and carry out a theoretical analysis on functional aspects of anti-ballistic fabrics and functional finishes. In this work, certain properties of Kevlar fabrics and shear thickening fluid are heated. The methodology involved consideration and understanding their technical aspects and its application methods used to make protective materials and functional finishes. The outcome shows that proper selection of functional materials, design, concept, testing the functionality parameters and application procedures play a vital role in making a successful anti-ballistic fabric. The application of shear thickening fluid increases the impact resistance values in anti-ballistic fabrics.
