Can I get this fashioned into a Nehru Jacket?

We return the days of yore, the brave Black Knights in full(erene) armor.

Hey Laz, add me to the graphine ping list. Hint, hint.

Been quite a few threads posted about it recently.

This reminds me of a video I saw several years ago.

The police were demonstrating a new bullet proof vest in front of a class with a live person wearing it. The only problem was they demoed it with a knife and it went right through. Ruined that guys day. I hate it when that happens.

If it’s inflexible, it’s unwearable.

Graphene is a zero-gap semiconductor, because its conduction and valence bands meet at the Dirac points. The Dirac points are six locations in momentum space, on the edge of the Brillouin zone, divided into two non-equivalent sets of three points. The two sets are labeled K and K'. The sets give graphene a valley degeneracy of gv = 2. By contrast, for traditional semiconductors the primary point of interest is generally Γ, where momentum is zero. Four electronic properties separate it from other condensed matter systems.

Given enough kinetic energy, bullet proof armor that merely stops a projectile would not be sufficient.

Graphene, I understand, can be clear. I wonder if this item would be clear thus making it good armor even over the head and eyes? It certainly would be very light weight.

Got it. Two sheets only if you want it to get hard.

Thanks!

Unobtainium takes over the world. Silver makes a little move, so cue the graphene blurb.

I doubt that, anybody who is worth spit with a firearm will just go for the head shot.
Just takes practice.

I bet thin body armor leaves one hell of a bruise.
