Abstract

An antiballistic panel includes at least a first stack and a second stack. The first stack has a plurality of first laminates made of a first kind of fibers, and the second stack has a plurality of second laminates made of a second kind of fibers. Either the first kind of fibers or the second kind of fibers has a tensile modulus in the range of 40-85 GPa measured according to ASTM D7269. The other of the first kind of fibers or the second kind of fibers has a tensile modulus in the range of 86-140 GPa measured according to ASTM D7269.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. Antiballistic panel comprising at least a first stack and a second stack, wherein the first stack has a plurality of first laminates made of a first kind of fibers and the second stack has a plurality of second laminates made of a second kind of fibers, wherein each of the laminates of the plurality of first laminates and the plurality of second laminates includes a combination of at least two fiber layers with a matrix material, wherein either the first kind of fibers or the second kind of fibers has a tensile modulus in the range of 40-85 GPa measured according to ASTM D7269-07 and the other of the first kind of fibers or the second kind of fibers has a tensile modulus in the range of 86-140 GPa measured according to ASTM D7269-07.

2. Antiballistic panel according to claim 1 , wherein each laminate of at least one of the first stack and the second stack comprises at least one unidirectional fiber layer.

3. Antiballistic panel according to claim 2 , wherein the fibers of at least two unidirectional fiber layers of the laminate are arranged under an angle of 90° in respect to each other.

4. Antiballistic panel according to claim 1 , wherein each laminate of at least one of the first stack and the second stack comprises at least one woven fiber layer.

5. Antiballistic panel according claim 1 , wherein the first kind of fibers have the tensile modulus in the range of 40-85 GPa and the second kind of fibers has the tensile modulus in the range of 86-140 GPa, and the panel has a body face and a strike face and wherein the first stack is arranged to the strike face and the second stack is arranged to the body face of the panel.

6. Antiballistic panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first kind of fibers have the tensile modulus in the range of 40-85 GPa and the second kind of fibers has the tensile modulus in the range of 86-140 GPa, and the panel has a body face and a strike face and wherein the second stack is arranged to the strike face and the first stack is arranged to the body face of the panel.

7. Antiballistic panel according to claim 1 , wherein at least one laminate of at least one of the first stack or the second stack has at least one film on its outer surface.

8. Antiballistic panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first kind of fibers has an elongation at break in the range of 3.9-4.6% measured according to ASTM D7269-07.

9. Antiballistic panel according to claim 1 , wherein the second kind of fibers has an elongation at break in the range of 2.5-3.8% measured according to ASTM D7269-07.

10. Antiballistic panel according to claim 1 , wherein the laminates of the plurality of first laminates and the laminates of the plurality of second laminates include different matrix materials.

11. Antiballistic panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first kind of fibers and the second kind of fibers are different kinds of aramid fibers.
