  • IMPACT-RESISTANT PAD AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING
    Publication number: 20140223649
    Abstract: Impact-resistant pads, methods of manufacturing impact-resistant pads, and protective apparatuses are disclosed. An impact-resistant pad includes a spacer fabric, a fluid permeated within the spacer fabric, and a containment layer encapsulating the spacer fabric and the fluid. The fluid has a viscosity dependent on a force applied to the pad.
