This paper reports an investigation on the ballistic impact performance of high strength unidirectional (UD) fabrics UHMWPE coated with natural rubber latex (NRL). The effects of adding calcium carbonate in the NRL on the ballistic impact were also studied. Several NRL coated UD fabrics were assembled together with neat UD fabrics in a 12-ply fabric system. The ballistic limit and energy absorption of the fabric systems were determined. Results of the ballistic limit test showed that the NRL coated UD fabrics gave some positive effects in enhancing the ballistic impact performance of the fabric systems in comparison with all-neat fabric systems. Several mechanisms of energy absorption were observed on the fabric systems which include burn marks, fibre stretching, fibre pull-out, shearing, delamination of fabric plies for completely penetrated fabric systems and a punched-out effect on the back ply of partially penetrated fabric systems.

Badania dotyczyły efektu uderzenia pocisku w balistyczny pakiet wykonany z pokrywanych naturalną gumą tkanin typu UD wykonanych z polietylenu o ultra wysokiej masie cząsteczkowej. Dodatkowo badano wpływ dodania węglanu wapnia do kauczuku naturalnego. W pakietach składano tkaniny powlekane i niepowlekane w systemy zawierające do 12 warstw. Określano limit balistyczny i energię absorpcji uzyskanych pakietów. Wyniki badań wskazują, że powlekanie warstw gumą naturalną daje pozytywne efekty poprawiając zachowanie pakietu na uderzenie pocisku. Obserwowano pojawianie się przypalenia pakietów, rozciąganie włókien, wyciąganie włókien, ścinanie, delaminację pakietów aż do całkowitej penetracji wszystkich warstw systemu.
