"The material does not protect quite as well as a Kevlar sheet of the same thickness—but it only costs about 5 percent as much" - Incredible. Millions could be saved to protect the military and police. Additionally it could provide less weighty armor and improve performance. There has been a lot of talk about the weight of full military body armor, and I wonder how much this new material would weigh, and if comparable to kevlar but lighter, could improve performance. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2018/09/25/army-body-armor-may-be-too-heavy-combat-report-finds.html https://www.military.com/daily-news/2018/09/25/army-body-arm...
