Abstract

Personal protection, especially in the context of military protection and security, became a major focus in the development of bulletproof vests. Polymer composite materials offer a wide range of advantages in terms of strength, density, and ability to reduce the kinetic energy of projectiles, making them an attractive choice for such protection applications. This study examines the different types of polymers and composite technologies used in the manufacture of bulletproof vests. This study examines the use of polymer composite materials in the manufacture of bulletproof vests used in the defense sector. We evaluate the mechanical, thermal, and ballistic properties of these materials and investigate the design approaches applied to improve the performance of these protectors. The research proved that the composite was efficient enough to be used as a bulletproof vest material because it was light, flexible and strong.

Abstract

Rare earth metals are associated minerals that are magnetic used as the main component in providing power to most electronic devices. Rare earth metal (REM) as a smart material that has 14 chemical elements. These elements are grouped according to their molecular weight, namely light rare earth metals (Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu) and heavy rare earth metals (Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Tr, Tm, Yb, Lu) . The use of this REM includes electric cars, health identification devices, LCDs and computer hardware. From some of the benefits and contents of REM, its development is not only in the industrial world but also in the world of defense, one of which is as a battery for motorized vehicles developed by the ministry of defense (Electric Tactical Motor Bike) that uses lithium batteries as a source of electrical energy. However, the use of lithium batteries which have shortcomings in terms of charging makes them look for other alternatives so that they can be charged optimally, one of which is using REM. The strategic position of rare earth minerals in the future must be developed so that they can be used sustainably, considering that Indonesia has potential resources that can be utilized.
