MUMBAI, India, Sept. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641106949 A) filed by Lords Institute Of Engineering And Technology; and King Khalid University on September 03, 2026, for Design And Development Of Lightweight Shin Guard By Aluminum Metallic Particles Reinforcement Based Polymer Composites.
Inventors include Dr. G. M. Sayeed Ahmed; Dr. Syed Waheedullah Ghori; Dr. Mohammed Tajuddin; Dr. Moksud Alam Mallik; Dr. Syed Azam Pasha Quadri; Mr. Ramavath Suman; and Dr. Mohammed Asif Kattimani.
The application for the patent was published on September 11, 2026, under issue no. 37/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a lightweight protective shin guard formed from a polyamide polymer composite reinforced with aluminum metallic particles or machining chips. Aluminum reinforcement is prepared and classified into predetermined particle-size ranges and mixed with dried polyamide by mechanical mixing and/or ball milling. The composite mixture is consolidated under controlled heat and pressure, followed by cooling under pressure and subsequent machining or forming into an anatomically curved protective shin-guard shell. The developed composite is intended to provide a suitable combination of lightweight construction, impact resistance, durability and structural performance. Mechanical, thermal and microstructural characterization may be performed to evaluate the composite, while finite-element analysis using LS-DYNA may be employed to determine impact-induced stress, strain and deformation. Experimental impact testing may further be used to validate the numerical analysis.
