Abstract:

This complex study was performed using Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition (PACVD) modification of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibrous composites and pararamid fabrics with deposition of a fluoro- or silane-like-polymer onto their surface. Research on the phenomenon of the propagation of the shockwave resulting from a bullet hit in an insert model system was performed on the basis of the PN-V-87000:2011 Standard, with the use of 7,62x25 TT 5,5 ± 0,1g bullets. To assess the phenomenon of propagation of the shockwave resulting from a bullet hit in the insert model system, an ultrahigh-speed digital camera was used. The behaviour of the shockwave resulting from the hit of a bullet on the surface of the model insert systems studied depended greatly on the type of textiles introduced to the system. Modification with low-temperature plasma in the presence of vapours of low-molecular-weight fluorinated or silanegenic substrates positively affected the stability of ballistic properties during accelerated aging of woven fabrics and unwoven sheets.
