  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. 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.

  4. Liquid Armor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_Armor

    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.

  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. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Thermal contact conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_contact_conductance

    The gases/fluids filling these gaps may largely influence the total heat flow across the interface. The thermal conductivity of the interstitial material and its pressure, examined through reference to the Knudsen number , are the two properties governing its influence on contact conductance, and thermal transport in heterogeneous materials in ...
