Multilayer hybrid ballistic plates have been developed to provide lightweight protection with high penetration resistance. In these structures, interlayer bonding is critical because poor adhesion can promote delamination and reduce ballistic performance. This article presents a mini review of studies published between 2015 and 2026, focusing on adhesive properties, surface preparation, vacuum lamination, void formation, and ballistic performance. The reviewed studies indicate that adhesive bonding and vacuum-based lamination techniques can improve consolidation and promote more uniform adhesive distribution in hybrid armor systems. Appropriate vacuum pressure can also reduce void formation, thereby improving interlayer bonding quality compared with conventional methods. In addition to processing conditions, adhesive elastic modulus and thickness, as well as surface roughness, affect delamination resistance. This review maps the relationship between vacuum lamination parameters, interlayer bonding quality, and ballistic performance, providing a basis for developing more reliable hybrid ballistic plates. The synthesis also highlights the importance of controlling bonding conditions to achieve consistent structural performance.
