Liquid bulletproof vest

"It has aroused great interest of visitors. It is regarded as a revolutionary technological breakthrough.

The new bulletproof vest is developed by the British BAE company. Its special liquid material will become thicker and harder after being hit by a bullet.

The BAE company develops the liquid.

Material Science

It was implanted into the middle of the multi-layer Cabral (Kevlar) fiber produced by the US DuPont Co, and then made a new bulletproof vest with this "composite material".

Cabral fiber is now widely recognized as the best material for making bulletproof vests. A common bulletproof vest is made up of dozens of layers of caflal fibers and ceramic plates, and its toughness is more than 5 times that of iron and steel.

But because it is too heavy, the wearer's action is greatly restricted.

The liquid armor is only half the weight of the ordinary bulletproof vest, so it is lighter and more practical.

The researchers also conducted a comparative bulletproof test. They used a 9 millimeter pistol to shoot a piece of material consisting of 31 layers of Cabral fibers. Then they used the same pistol to shoot a material consisting of 10 layers of caflal fibers and the above liquid.

The results showed that when the bullet hit the liquid armor, its impact force was immediately dispersed and the destructive power was greatly reduced.

Many soldiers were killed or badly injured because their bulletproof vests had no such function. When the impact of the bullet was concentrated in a point or a small area, many soldiers had strong penetrating power.

BAE said they will increase their research and development efforts, so that liquid bulletproof vests can not only resist pistol bullets, but also withstand AK47 assault rifles.

A spokesman for the company, Nick Haig, said it was revolutionary.

British soldiers are expected to use this new bulletproof vest in the next two years.
