MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421086505 A) filed by Goel, Manmohan Dass; Umbharatwala, Madhav Divyantkumar; and Shirbhate, Payal Anil, Nagpur, Maharashtra, on Nov. 9, 2024, for 'a high-tenacity ballistic nylon composite armor reinforced with multi-walled carbon nanotubes.'
Inventor(s) include Goel, Manmohan Dass; Umbharatwala, Madhav Divyantkumar; and Shirbhate, Payal Anil.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a high-tenacity ballistic nylon composite armor reinforced with multi-walled carbon nanotubes designed for protection against high-velocity impacts. The composite material features a plain-woven nylon fabric laminated with an epoxy resin matrix infused with MWCNTs. The fabric layers are oriented in a 0-90 configuration, enhancing strength and resistance to penetration. The composite is lightweight, with a bulk density of 1.03 g/cm and a thickness of 6 mm, providing a compact solution for personal protective gear. It is capable of absorbing up to 4512.5 J of kinetic energy, stopping projectiles traveling at up to 650 m/s while controlling back-face deformation to 10.5 mm. A thermo-mechanical curing process ensures strong bonding between the fabric layers, improving durability and ballistic performance. This innovation is ideal for use in ballistic armor panels, balancing protection, mobility, and wearer comfort."
