The unique material graphene will be used to make bullet-proof protective equipment, say scientists.
Such a conclusion was made by experts from the United States after the implementation of a number of studies. For example, they tested the strength of a sheet of graphene, shooting him several times with special bullets made of glass. It was found that a layer of material capable of absorbing high energy shock became much more efficient. The results of their experiments, the researchers published in the scientific journal Science.
After a ballistic test, it became known that graphene, due to their properties (strength, elasticity, a huge force) is able to absorb the momentum is 10 times stronger than steel or iron.
The new “miracle material” has only one drawback. As a result of falling shells in it formed small holes. But scientists claim that soon will be able to connect with other components of graphene that will get rid of the problem.
