摘要： Fabrication of ballistic resistant fibrous composites having improved ballistic resistance properties. More particularly, ballistic resistant fibrous composites having high interlaminar lap shear strength between component fiber plies or fiber layers, which correlates to low composite backface signature. The high lap shear strength, low backface signature composites are useful for the production of hard armor articles, including helmet armor.

摘要： A process for preparing ultra-high molecular weight poly(alpha-olefin) (UHMWPO) multi-filament yarns having improved tensile properties at higher productivity. The process includes drawing a solution yarn, then drawing a gel yarn and then drawing a dry yarn continuously in sequence to form a partially oriented yarn, winding up the partially oriented yarn, unrolling the yarn, drawing the partially oriented yarn to form a highly oriented yarn, cooling the highly oriented yarn under tension and winding up the highly oriented yarn.

摘要： A composition comprises a solid-stated block copolymer of an aromatic polyester and a caprolactone, wherein the copolymer has been solid state polymerized such that intrinsic viscosity increases at least 20%, the caprolactone content decreases no more than 1.2% absolute and the transesterification increases no more than 3.5% absolute, and wherein the solid-stated copolymer has an intrinsic viscosity of at least 0.82. Particularly preferred chain extension reactions are performed at a temperature of less than 175° C., and even more preferably at less than 165° C. In further aspects of the inventive subject matter, yarns and methods of producing a fiber include contemplated solid-stated block copolymers.
