Abstract

The goals of this research are to determine the effect of the number of Kevlar layers and nano alumina impregnation on Kevlar fibers for the ballistic resistance of hybrid laminate composites. There are several materials used; aluminum sheet 2024-T3, Kevlar fiber type 29, Nano alumina and epoxy resin. The impregnation solution was used as a Polyethylene glycol-400 solution, which will be mixed with Nano alumina using a magnetic stirrer for 2 hours. For optimize the impregnation process in Kevlar fibers and reduce the stress, the ethanol solution was added in a mixture of impregnation solution. After the Kevlar layers soaked in a solution, then the Kevlar must be dried for 48 hours. The next step is to assemble the laminate composite structure by hand layup method and then by drying at room temperature for 48 hours Several characterized such as ballistic, impact test and macro photographs were analyzed. The results showed that increasing the number of layers and addition of nano filler on Kevlar clothe structure could increase the durability of the samples for both ballistic and impacts tests. On the other hand, ballistic endurance testing is also measured based on the size of the perforation diameter and Impact data. The size of the perforation shows decline (16.75 cm for 10 layers, 14.70 cm for 20 layers, and 10.75 cm for 30 layers on non- impregnation composites; 13.35 cm for 10 layer, 11.35
