A ballistic-resistant molded article includes a compressed stack of sheets made up of reinforcing tapes having a tensile strength of at least 1.0 GPa, a tensile modulus of at least 40 GPa, and a tensile energy-to-break of at least 15 J/g, the direction of the tapes within the compressed stack being not unidirectional. The stack includes a first layer of sheets including reinforcing tapes and a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) as matrix material and a further layer of sheets including reinforcing tapes and a thermoplastic elastomer as matrix material, wherein the further layer includes 0.2-8 wt. % matrix material.

Ballistic resistant articles comprising tapes

A ballistic-resistant article includes a stack of sheets containing reinforcing linear tension members, the direction of the linear tension members within the stack being no unidirectionally, wherein some of the linear tension members are linear tension members comprising high molecular weight polyethylene and some of the linear tension members comprise aramid. A sheet and a consolidated sheet package contain the ballistic-resistant article, and a method of manufacturing produces the ballistic-resistant article.

Ballistic-resistant articles

A ballistic-resistant molded article having a compressed stack of sheets including reinforcing elongate bodies, where at least some of the elongate bodies are polyethylene elongate bodies that have a weight average molecular weight of at least 100,000 gram/mole. Methods for manufacturing ballistic-resistant molded articles are also provided.

Ballistic resistant articles comprising elongate bodies

A ballistic-resistant moulded article having a compressed stack of sheets including reinforcing elongate bodies, where at least some of the elongate bodies are polyethylene elongate bodies that have a weight average molecular weight of at least 100,000 gram/mole and a Mw/Mn ratio of at most 6. Methods for manufacturing ballistic-resistant moulded articles are also provided.
