Kevlar
Beginning of paper
is an organic fiber in the aromatic polyamide family. It has unique properties and a chemical composition that is its own, which distinguishes it from other man-made fibers. is a combination of high strength, high modulus (resistance to extension), toughness and thermal stability. has a wide ....
Middle of paper
.... chain extension. The polymer poly-p-benzamide was found to form liquid crystalline solutions due to the repetitiveness of its molecular backbone. The key for the structural requirement for the backbone is para orientation on the benzene ring, which allowed for rod-like molecular structures. This technology was used when Du Pont released aramid fiber in 1971.
