Introduction	Silicon-doped boron carbide emerges as a viable candidate for future body armoured applications. Its enhanced deformation mechanisms provide improved protection compared to traditional materials. The integration of silicon into boron carbide strengthens its structure, offering a lightweight yet sturdy solution for defence needs. This study examines the material's properties, exploring its potential to transform protective gear.
