COMPOSITE MATERIAL STACK DEFINITION & PROCESS

OPTIMIZATION FOR AUTOMOTIVE & IMPACT PROTECTION APPLICATIONS

//DuPont de Nemours Int. S.A.

CASE STUDY

  • Definition of resin/fabric configuration, composite stack  and specific transformation process for the manufacturing of KevlarⓇ helmets/UHMWPE composite hoods/textile bulletproof vest

  • Definition of the specific composite stack and configuration (yarn & fabric type, resin type, nr. of layers, orientation) through self-developed analytical material models.

    Process definition and initial trials.

    Process optimization and prototype validation.

  • Creation of 3 prototypes with optimized weight/performance ratios for the 3 defined uses.

    Official certification of performance results after mechanical testing.

    Technical positioning of the specific materials solutions reached and comparison vs competitors through in-house testing campaign.
