Abstract

Multiple layers of ballistic fabrics are extensively used in the production of soft body armour. The importance of comfort and hence its evaluation for these fabrics is gaining significance among present day researchers. This research compares 100% Kevlar ballistic fabric and Kevlar/wool ballistic fabric focussing on two aspects of comfort, namely the evaluation of surface roughness and the ability to transport moisture. A water repellent treatment was applied to the ballistic Kevlar/wool fabric. The effects of the treatment on the Kevlar/wool fabric were examined as well.
