science of the very curious material: Kevlar®. Our aim is to create a very informative piece of writing that can be of reference to our project subject‚ when in need. Upon taking up this project we conducted some very superficial research initially. Our research led us to believe that Kevlar® is a rather well known material that has been used in bullet proof vests for the last couple of decades. In addition to this‚ we came to the conclusion that Kevlar® is also a material that has the potential

and textile industry Kevlar. Kevlar is made of an extremely strong fabric called an aramid fabric‚ which is chemically related to nylon. This fabric is very tough and durable‚ is then woven in a pattern similar to tiny spiderwebs all interlocked to provide additional strength and durability. Aramid fibres like Kevlar are resistant to wear‚ tear and heat‚ and have no melting point. What is its main use? Kevlar is one of the strongest materials on earth. It is a fiber that when woven together

Amanda Sosa Period 3 Kevlar!!! 1. Give an analogy explaining how the chemical structure of Kevlar makes it strong. Because the polymer Kevlar forms chains like structures‚ its crystallinity‚ the way the polymer is arranged and stacked is like stacking wood in nice tightly packed bundles. To explain the incredibly strong intermolecular forces of the hydrogen bonds I would compare it to a magnet‚ the chains are attracted to each other like the attraction between magnets and their hard to
