Abstract

This research was studied the possibility of  resin composites development by using fish scale in order to  improve impact resistance. For development The result of this study would be the alternative material to design a bulletproof vest. The experiment was performed by comparing the number of fish scale layers to the impact resistance according to the dart impact testing. . The polyester resins and ground fish scales which acted as reinforcement material was molded . The results  showed that the polyester resin and the number of fish scale layer affected to the impact resistance. The results also showed that using two layer of fish scale can absorb the impact energy higher than others. It is possible to develop a bulletproof vest from fish scales.
