Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of photodegradation by ultraviolet radiation in composites of epoxy matrix reinforced with sisal fabric in the energy absorption capacity against shots of 0.22-gauge lead projectile. The ballistic tests were performed at subsonic speed using a 150-bar compressed air draft system. The ballistic efficiency was evaluated using the residual velocity technique. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was also performed to observe changes after radiation exposure. Exposure to UV radiation, both at 75–225 h, caused changes in the color of the composite plates, in addition to optimizing the energy absorption capacity in level I events by NIJ 0101.04, absorbing about 93% of the projectile energy, showing to be a very easy and fast technique for improving the ballistic properties of composites which in turn are more economically viable than the commonly used synthetic materials.
