  2. Liquid Armor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_Armor

    This liquid is soaked into all the layers of a Kevlar vest. [8] The magnetorheological fluid consists of magnetic (typically iron) particles in a carrier fluid such as oil. They respond to magnetic fields by increasing in viscosity dramatically, almost acting like a solid.

  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. 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.

  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. 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.

  8. Zylon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zylon

    The conductive fiber is used for electronic textiles, EMI shielding in woven or knit sheets, or as a braid over wires, and for signal transmission or current conduction. This conductive fiber combines the advantages of Zylon (strength, resistance to high temperatures, durability, lightweight, etc.) with the electrical properties of various metals.

  9. Heat-transfer fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-transfer_fluid

    In case of liquid heat transfer fluids, usage of their small quantity will result in their vaporisation which can be dangerous for the equipment where they are used. The equipment will be designed for liquids but their vaporisation will include vapors in the flow channel. Also gases occupy larger volume than liquids at the same pressure.
