초록

본 연구는 전단농화유체(STF)가 함침된 Kevlar 복합재료(STF-Kevlar composite)의 제조 및 방탄성능 평가에 관한 내용이다. 전단농화유체는 fumed silica와 구형 silica를 에틸렌글리콜에 혼합하여 제조하였고 이 유체를 Kevlar직물에 함침시켜 액체방탄재료를 제작하였다. 전단농화거동을 조사한 결과 사용된 STF는 모두 전단농화거동이 발현됨을 확인하였다. 그리고 방탄시험 결과 구형silica STF-Kevlar 복합재료가 보다 우수한 방탄특성을 나타내었다. 한편 방탄시험 시 neat Kevlar 시험편에서는 탄자가 섬유를 pull-out하면서 관통하는 현상이 발생하였으나 LBA시험편에서는 섬유의 pull-out 대신 원주방향으로 섬유가 변형되면서 방탄재료가 변형되는 거동을 보여 서로 다른 변형거동을 각각 나타내는 것으로 관찰되었다.

Manufacturing process of the shear thickening fluid(STF) and evaluation of the ballistic penetration resistance performance of the Kevlar-STF composites were studied. STF was made from silica and ethylene glycol, and the Kevlar-STF composite was made by impregnating the STF into the Kevlar fabric. Specimens including neat Kevlar woven fabrics and Kevlar-STF composites with two types of silica were prepared and carried out the ballistic tests. From the results STFs represented shear thickening behavior irrespective of the silica type, and Kevlar-STF composite with spherical silica showed best ballistic penetration resistance performance among them. Especially the specimens of Kevlar-STF composites with spherical silica showed radial fiber deformation by the projectile during the tests, that was somewhat different deformation behavior from those of the neat Kevlar fabrics shown fiber pull-out phenomena or fracture.
