Ballistic Resistant Graphene-Polymer Nanocomposites

Abstract

Composites made from Graphene and some other 2D materials offer the potential of making composites that have a 4x ballistic resistance compared to the current state-of-the-art composite materials. This technology thus hold promise to revolutionise armour design with significant implications to multiple DoD applications
