Abstract

An improved transparent bullet-proof laminate is formed with an energy absorbing transition layer located between preformed laminae of glass and/or plastic, such as polycarbonate, the transition layer constituting a cured aliphatic urethane acrylate with optionally up to 70% of a monofunctional monomeric acrylate, the transition layer in liquid form having a viscosity preferably no greater than 1000 cps and in cured state having a toughness of at least 0.1 MPa, and elastic modulus no greater than 25 MPa and an elongation of at least 20%.
