Ballistic impact performance of composite laminates based on high‐density polyethylene/montmorillonite nanocomposite and Aramide fiber

Nanostructured thermoplastic consisting of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) modified with exfoliated montmorillonite (MMT) was successfully used as the matrix for the development of composite for ballistic applications. The effect of HDPE and HDPE/MMT as the matrix on the mechanical and ballistic properties of para‐aramid plain‐woven fabric‐based composites was compared with the commercial composite constituted by polyvinyl‐butyral–phenolic...
