Professor Paul J Hazell is a global leader in the field of ballistics materials.
UBIQ Technology’s Ballistics Panels are a highly innovation and disruptive technology that represents a significant improvement in ballistic performance of a cement, but also a ground breaking fusion of ballistic and fire-resistant properties within a cement composite. This innovation has the potential for multiple applications in both civilian and defence sectors, or where fire resistance and ballistics resistance is required. It may also have advantages in blast protection over and above conventional cement-based structures.”
