Abstract
Novel flexible laminated composites based on rubber compounds and rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) wood fibres were successfully produced by using a carboxylated nitrile latex based adhesive system. All these laminated composites exhibited good reinforcing behaviour and strong elastomeric features. They also had a medium level of stab resistance strength, particularly for the “edged blade” protection class according to the standard issued by the United States – National Institute of Justice. Hence, this type of laminated composite could potentially be targeted for anti-stab body armour applications.
