- the ZYLON® fabric is a plain weave with 11.8 ⁇ 11.8 warp and fill yarns per centimeter.
- ZYLON® (poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole)) yarns have a tenacity of 42 g/d and a tensile modulus of 1325 g/d.
- One of the flat panels is re-molded into a corrugated panel by pressing between matched steel dies at a temperature of 116° C. at a pressure of 500 psi (3.44 MPa) for a period of 10 minutes as described in Example 3.
- the diameter of the steel cylinders is 2.0 inches (50.8 mm). This produces a corrugation with 2.0 inches (50.8 mm) crest-to-crest spacing.
- the ratio T/t between the effective thickness of the corrugated panel and the 5.5-mm thickness dimension of the twenty-seven layers of the impregnated ZYLON® fabric constituting the panels is 2.49.
- Both the composite article of the invention and the second 5.5-mm flat panel are subjected to ballistic testing by the method of MIL-STD 662E dated 22 Jan. 1987 using a 9 mm caliber, 124 grain FMJ bullet.
- V50 velocity and the specific energy absorption of the composite article of the invention will be superior to the flat panel having essentially the same areal density regardless of the point of impact on the composite article of the invention.
