Oct 25 2024 - The new article introduces comfort and mobility as key considerations in body armor, shifting from purely protective design to ergonomic and operational versatility. Adds nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene as well as smart textiles with phase change materials and shear-thickening fluids for dynamic protection—absent in the old article. New applications cover military, law enforcement, and sports sectors, detailing specific innovations like spider silk fibers and 3D-printed helmets with sensors, which were not addressed in the original. The updated article highlights reactive body armor and smart textiles for temperature regulation as future directions, unlike the original which briefly noted incremental material improvements.
