Ceramics has high hardness but low density and has been used in defense to enhance the protection of human bodies or vehicles against projectile penetration. Ceramics can defeat a ballistic threat by deforming and fracturing a metal projectile, thus eliminate or reduce the depth of penetration in ba...
