  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. Electroforming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroforming

    The outer surface of the mandrel forms the inner surface of the form. The process involves passing direct current through an electrolyte containing salts of the metal being electroformed. The anode is the solid metal being electroformed, and the cathode is the mandrel, onto which the electroform gets plated (deposited). The process continues ...

  5. Aramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramid

    In 1973, DuPont was the first company to introduce a para-aramid fiber, calling it Kevlar; this remains one of the best-known [citation needed] para-aramids and/or aramids. In 1978, Akzo introduced a similar fiber with roughly the same chemical structure calling it Twaron. Due to earlier patents on the production process, Akzo and DuPont ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thermal_conductivities

    *The P Conductivity is the conductivity of polycrystalline Tin. TPRC Tin is well annealed 99.999+% pure white tin with residual electrical resistivity ρ 0 =0.000120, 0.0001272 & 0.000133 μ Ω cm respectively for the single crystal along directions perpendicular ⊥ {\displaystyle \perp } and parallel ∥ {\displaystyle \parallel } to the c ...

  7. Metallic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_bonding

    The strong bonding of metals in liquid form demonstrates that the energy of a metallic bond is not highly dependent on the direction of the bond; this lack of bond directionality is a direct consequence of electron delocalization, and is best understood in contrast to the directional bonding of covalent bonds.

  8. Zylon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zylon

    Zylon (IUPAC name: poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole)) is a trademarked name for a range of thermoset liquid-crystalline polyoxazole. This synthetic polymer material was invented and developed by SRI International in the 1980s and manufactured by Toyobo. [2] In generic usage, the fiber is referred to as PBO. [3]

  9. 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.
