"Kevlar Wallpaper" will help to reinforce the temporary strengthening of the military Bashny.Net

With the explosion of antitank rocket grenade any fortification transformed into a weapon of the enemy - flying stones and rubble at the soldiers as a grenade. "Wallpaper", developed by the US military engineers, will act as the safety net.





Composite materials used for construction in ancient times - a few thousand years ago. By the 1970s, they have become more complicated, and the company has created a DuPont aramid fiber known as Kevlar. The material used in bulletproof vests, for reinforcing tires and fiber-optic cables.

Researchers from the United States Army Corps of Engineers decided to use the material for the reinforcement of the fortifications. For this purpose, a Kevlar flexible plastic film. Wallpapers tested on unreinforced buildings built specifically for experiments and then destroyed. It is assumed that the soldiers in the field will be able to strengthen the masonry bricks or cinder blocks.

Journalists Popular Science conducted their tests. "Wallpaper" mounted on a wall made of different materials, and then began to break down the walls "ball-baba" mimicking an explosion. Unreinforced walls broken by the blow at once, and Kevlar allows them to last longer.
