Superhero Body Armor Coming Soon

Written by andy on Monday, July 31st, 2006 in General.

Armor Holdings Inc. plans to start selling their “liquid armor” next year. From the Business Week article: “it’s a mix of polyethylene glycol, a polymer found in laxatives and other consumer products, and nanobits of silica, or purified sand. Together they produce a “sheer-thickening liquid” that stiffens instantly into a shield when hit hard by an object. It reverts to its liquid state just as fast when the energy from the projectile dissipates.” via RealTechNews
