Abstract:
1. A ballistic resistant material comprising: a first composite comprising a plurality of non-woven fibrous plies, said plurality of fibrous plies being consolidated; each of the fibrous plies comprising a plurality of unidirectionally oriented fibers, said fibers having a tenacity of 7 g/denier or more and a tensile modulus of 150 g/denier or more; wherein the unidirectionally oriented fibers in each fibrous ply of the first composite are oriented in a non-parallel longitudinal fiber direction relative to the longitudinal fiber direction of each adjacent ply of said first composite; and a second composite attached to the first composite, which second composite comprises a plurality of non-woven fibrous plies, said plurality of fibrous plies being consolidated; each of the fibrous plies comprising a plurality of unidirectionally oriented fibers, said fibers having a tenacity of 7 g/denier or more and a tensile modulus of 150 g/denier or more; wherein the unidirectionally oriented fibers in each fibrous ply of the second composite are oriented in a non-parallel longitudinal fiber direction relative to the longitudinal fiber direction of each adjacent ply of said second composite; wherein the longitudinal fiber direction of the fibers in each ply of the first composite is different than the longitudinal fiber direction of the fibers in each ply of the second composite; and wherein the first composite has an areal density of at least about 100 g/m
