Resource - Kevlar
Description
Kevlar is a trademark for one of DuPont’s aramid products as both Kevlar and Nomex are examples of chemicals called synthetic aromatic polyamides or aramids for short. The fundamental structure of an aramid is C14H14N2O4. Aramid fibers are short for aromatic polyamide. They are manufactured fibers where the composition is a type of synthetic polyamide, in which more than 85% of the linkages must link to two aromatic rings. Kevlar is prone to soaking up water in composite applications and it’s not ideal in compression, so fiberglass and carbon fiber are used in composites rather than Kevlar in those situations.
