Abstract
Different materials were investigated experimentally with respect to their stab resistance. The focus of this research is the use of renewable cellulosic materials , such as cotton and paper, in comparison with high-performance materials, such as aramid or ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. The tests were carried out according to the standard of the Association of Test Laboratories for Bullet, Stab or Pike Resistant Materials and Construction Standards (VPAM). The results for common cellulosic materials achieve remarkable results in comparison with high-performance materials. Depending on the stab resistance being compared in terms of fabric thickness or mass per unit area, especially standard paper performed well, while even common cotton depicted a significant stab resistance . The results of these investigations demonstrate the advantages and limitations of renewable cellulosic materials in comparison to high-performance fibrous structures.
