[QUOTE="jim hardy, post: 6039174, member: 327872"] Boron carbide body armor has been around for decades. Carborundum made it in their Niagara Falls plant when i visited there in the 1960's. Back then they blew it into fiber with a steam jet then made it into cloth using secondhand textile manufacturing equipment. The foam is new to me but it seems a logical progression. See what these folks have to say ? http://technical-ceramics.3mdeutschland.de/en/products/3m-ballistic-ceramics.html [/QUOTE]
