ResumoMultilayered armorMultilayered armor system (MAS) layers are composed of materials such as a front ceramic and a back compositeComposite that must show both high impactImpact resistance and low weight. Recently, composites reinforced with natural fibers have been considered as MAS second layer thanks to their efficient ballistic performance associated with other advantages such as being cheaper and environmentally friendly. Among the natural fibers, the fique fiberFique fiber has shown potential as reinforcement of polymer composites for engineering applications. Epoxy matrixEpoxy matrix composites reinforced with up to 25 vol.% of fique fiberFique fiber were for the first time ballistic tested. For practical application as armorArmor for personal protection, the layer of fique fiberFique fiber compositeComposite presents not only a superior ballistic performance but also lightness and economical advantages over the conventional aramid fabric.
