Transparent Polyolefin Film Armor

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA107562 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The general objective of this project was to determine the optimum processing conditions for the large scale conversion, by molding and laminating of oriented polyolefin film into fragment resistant transparent armor suitable for Army aircraft glazing applications. The manufacturing process must produce a laminate with sufficient adhesion to resist debonding during thermal cycling and yet react as a laminar structure during ballistic impact.
