In 2005 ApNano developed a material for body armor that is always rigid, and announced that this nanocomposite based on Tungsten disulfide was able to withstand shocks generated by a steel projectile traveling at velocities of up to 1.5 km/second.
In 2005 ApNano developed a material for body armor that is always rigid, and is five times as strong as steel and two times as strong as any impact-resistant material used to make protective gear. The nanocomposite based on Tungsten disulfide was able to withstand shocks generated by a steel projectile traveling at velocities of up to 1.5 km/second.
