(Clarifying that this new weave of the layer provides greater strength.)

*'''[[Hydrostatic gel]]''': Underneath the armored bodysuit is a gel-filled layer, this gel layer regulates the temperature of the suit and can re actively change its density to conform to the wearer's shape - the temperature inside the suit is controlled by the moisture absorbing cloth suit underneath the hydrostatic layer. The hydrostatic gel layer can also be pressurized to various levels to potentially save the wearers life should the wearer be subjected to high G forces or a high velocity impact; however, over-pressurizing this layer can cause [[wikipedia:nitrogen embolism|nitrogen embolism]]s.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''' ''Page 13''</ref> <ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''' ''Chapter 1, page 36''</ref>

*'''[[Polymerized lithium niobocene|Reactive metal liquid crystal layer]]''': Sandwiched between the external armor and the internal padding is a layer of piezoelectric material that deforms along a preferred axis when exposed to a electric charge. This layer acts as synthetic muscle, allowing the Spartan access to approximately twice their normal strength when they were using the Mark IV armor. Later versions appear to have increased their strength even further.<ref name= "H4EG">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 167''</ref>
*'''[[Polymerized lithium niobocene|Reactive metal liquid crystal layer]]''': Sandwiched between the external armor and the internal padding is a layer of piezoelectric material that deforms along a preferred axis when exposed to a electric charge. This layer acts as synthetic muscle, allowing the Spartan access to approximately five times their unarmored strength when using the Mark VI due to new optimization of the crystalline geometries.<ref>[[:File:Mark VI EVG.png]]</ref> <ref name= "H4EG">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 167''</ref>


*'''Memory-processor superconductor layer''': A layer relatively new to the Mjolnir line, introduced with the Mark V, that is capable of housing an AI. Comprised of the same material as a starship's AI system, this layer allows an AI to travel with a soldier into the field.  The AI can then aid the soldier in software intrusion, hardware hacking, and espionage by listening to enemy chatter.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''Page 286''</ref>
