All living
things need to protect themselves against attacks from outside world
instinctively. And likewise, throughout history human beings not only have
taken precautions against environmental factors but also against attacks from
enemies. These precautions include precautions against leather, metal and
metal derivatives, ditches, city walls and castles. And today, the combination
of light fabrics having high resistance and elasticity with polymers forms the
basis for ballistic panel and armour production. Investments in the area of
ballistics, particularly military investments, as well as academic and military
studies, indicate the significance of the issue. This study examines the
characteristics of the composites used in ballistic panel and personal protective
armour production; the combinations of the protectors made of composite
materials and the ballistic tests applied to these protectors. This study which
is a collection of the existing studies by examining them will provide
literature support for studies on ballistic.

Balistik Panel ve Koruyucu Zırh Üretiminde Kullanılan Lif ve Kompozit Malzemeler

Öz

Her canlı varlık, dışarıdan gelebilecek
saldırılara karşı içgüdüsel olarak korunma ihtiyacı hissetmektedir. Insanoğlu
da tarih boyunca çevresel faktörlere karşı önlem aldığı gibi, düşmanlardan
gelebilecek saldırılara da önlemler almıştır. Bu önlemler metal ve metal
türevlerinden başlayarak, hendekler, surlar ve kaleler olarak devam etmiştir. Günümüzde
ise, teknolijinin gelişmesiyle ortaya çıkan yüksek direnç ve elastikiyet özelliklerine
sahip hafif kumaşların polimerlerle kombinasyonları, balistik panel ve zırh
üretiminin temelini oluşturmaktadır. Askeri alanlar başta olmak üzere balistik
alanında yapılan yatırım , akademik ve askeri çalışmalar, bu konunun önemini
ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışmada, balistik panel ve kişisel koruyucu zırh
üretiminde kullanılan kompozit malzemelerin özellikleri, kompozit malzemeler
ile elde edilen koruyucuların kombinasyonları ve bu koruyuculara uygulanan
balistik testler incelenmiştir. Yapılan çalışmaların irdelenerek derlenmesiyle
oluşan bu çalışma, balistik alanında yapılacak çalışmalara literatür desteği
sağlayacaktır.
