Analysis of bulletproof vest made from fiber carbon composite and hollow glass microsphere (HGM) in absorbing energy due to projectile impact

Bulletproof vest serves as a barrier and simultaneously absorbing the impact energy of a projectile shot from a firearm so it could not injure the users. Manufacture of lighter bulletproof vests with good absorbent of impact energy, is expected, because it supports the mobility and safety of its use...
