A hybrid approach of NiP coating and STF impregnation of UHMWPE fabric for conductive soft body armor
To enhance the ballistic impact performance and impart electrical conductivity into soft armor material made up of UHMWPE fabric, a novel hybrid technique has been devised and incorporated.Initially, the NiP layer was deposited on the UHMWPE fabric surface through the electroless process, subsequently, it was impregnated in the shear thickening flu
