Natural rubber-rubberwood fibre laminated composites with enhanced stab resistance properties
Material type:
TextPublication details: Journal of Rubber Research 2014Description: 12-JanSubject(s): Summary: Flexible composites based on natural rubber compounds and rubberwood(Heveawood) fibres were prepared using lamination technique. An in-house produced natural latex and lignin blend was used as the adhesive system for this lamination purpose. All composites prepared via this technique had good reinforcing behaviour and strong elastomeric feature. They also showed a medium level of stab resistance strength, especially for the edged blade protection class according to the United States-National Institute of Justice (US-NIJ) standard. As a result, this type of laminated composite may find its new potential application for the anti-stab body armour.
