  2. Liquid Armor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_Armor

    Both these fluids show the behavior of a non-Newtonian fluid, behaving like a liquid under low or normal pressure and solid under higher pressure or applied fields. The shear thickening fluid is normally made with polyethylene glycol and the solid part is made of nano-particles of silica. This liquid is soaked into all the layers of a Kevlar ...

  3. Kevlar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevlar

    Kevlar (para-aramid) [2] is a strong, heat-resistant synthetic fiber, related to other aramids such as Nomex and Technora.Developed by Stephanie Kwolek at DuPont in 1965, [3] [2] [4] the high-strength material was first used commercially in the early 1970s as a replacement for steel in racing tires.

  4. Conductive agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductive_agent

    Conductive agents are used to ensure electrodes have good charge and discharge performance. Usually, a certain amount of conductive material is added during the production of the pole piece , and the micro current is collected between the active material and the current collector to reduce the micro current.

  5. Aramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramid

    Structure of Twaron and Kevlar.The aromatic rings appear as hexagons. The rings are attached alternately to either two NH groups or two CO groups. [2] The attachment points on each ring are diametrically opposite each other, a characteristic of the structure called para-aramid.

  6. Nomex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomex

    Nomex is an example of a meta variant of the aramids (Kevlar is a para aramid). Unlike Kevlar, Nomex strands cannot align during filament polymerization and have less strength: its ultimate tensile strength is 340 MPa (49,000 psi). [2] However, it has excellent thermal, chemical, and radiation resistance for a polymer material.

  7. Liquid-crystal polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-crystal_polymer

    Liquid-crystal polymers are present in melted/liquid or solid form. [7] In solid form, the main example of lyotropic LCPs is the commercial aramid known as Kevlar . The chemical structure of this aramid consists of linearly substituted aromatic rings linked by amide groups.

  9. Composite overwrapped pressure vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_overwrapped...

    In 2016, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket exploded on the pad due to the failure of a COPV inside the liquid oxygen tank: [10] the failure resulted from accumulation of frozen solid oxygen between the COPV's aluminum liner and composite overwrap in a void or buckle. The entrapped oxygen can either break overwrap fibers or cause friction between fibers ...
