High-Velocity Impact Performance of Ballistic Fabric Using Core-Spun Compound Yarns.

In this paper, the usage of core-spun compound yarns in ballistic fabric to improve ballistic performance is considered, as with the use of core-spun compound yarns, the yarn friction inside the fabric is enhanced, and, therefore, the energy absorption capability of the fabric is expected to increase. Three types of fabric were developed and compared. F refers to a woven type made with 100% Kevlar filament yarns.
