  • Composite treatment of ceramic tile armor
    Patent number: 8087340
    Abstract: An improved ceramic tile armor has a core of boron nitride and a polymer matrix composite (PMC) facing of carbon fibers fused directly to the impact face of the tile. A polyethylene fiber composite backing and spall cover are preferred. The carbon fiber layers are cured directly onto the tile, not adhered using a separate adhesive so that they are integral with the tile, not a separate layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 5, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 3, 2012
    Assignee: U.T. Battelle, LLC
    Inventors: James G. R. Hansen, Barbara J. Frame
