  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Liquid Armor - Wikipedia

    The samples demonstrated similar depth, but the neat Kevlar displayed more yarn-pullout and yarn splaying. Observers found that the STF-Kevlar was able to withstand the stab test better than the neat Kevlar. Later on, in a spike impactor stab test, the STF-Kevlar demonstrated significantly better results than the neat Kevlar.

  6. Thermal conduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conduction

    Conduction is the main mode of heat transfer for solid materials because the strong inter-molecular forces allow the vibrations of particles to be easily transmitted, in comparison to liquids and gases. Liquids have weaker inter-molecular forces and more space between the particles, which makes the vibrations of particles harder to transmit ...

  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. Thermal conductivity and resistivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity_and...

    Dense gases such as xenon and dichlorodifluoromethane have low thermal conductivity. An exception, sulfur hexafluoride, a dense gas, has a relatively high thermal conductivity due to its high heat capacity. Argon and krypton, gases denser than air, are often used in insulated glazing (double paned windows) to improve their insulation ...

  9. 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.
