    The document discusses Kevlar fibers, which are aromatic polyamide threads produced from a condensation reaction between para-phenylenediamine and terephthaloyl chloride. Kevlar has high strength and is used in applications like body armor, aircrafts, boats and tires due to its properties like high tensile strength, flame resistance, and ability to withstand impacts.

    Kevlar Fibers

    ?Whats the Kevlar


    Kevlar ( Trade name ) is a material formed by
    combining
    .para-phenylenediamine and terephthaloyl chloride

    ?Whats the Kevlar


    . Aromatic polyamide (aramid) threads are the result

    Production
    Kevlar issynthesizedin solution from the monomers
    1:4
    phenylene-diamine( para-phenylenediamine )
    andterephthaloyl chloridein a condensation reaction
    .yieldinghydrochloric acidas a byproduct
    The result hasliquid-crystallinebehavior, and mechanic
    drawing orients the polymer chains in the fiber's
    .direction

    Production
    liquid-crystalline material extruded through a
    spinneret (a small metal plate full of tiny holes
    that looks like a shower head) to form Kevlar
    yarn. The Kevlar fiber then passes through a
    cooling bath to help it harden. After being
    sprayed with water, the synthetic fiber is wound
    .onto rolls
    If layers of the woven Kevlar are combined with
    layers of resin, the resulting rigid material is
    .light and has twenty times the strength of steel

    Production
    .Spinningis a major part of thetextile industry
    It is part of the textile manufacturing process where
    .fiberare converted intoyarn, thenfabrics

    General Features of KEVLAR

    High Tensile Strength at Low Weight


    Low Elongation to Break High Modulus
    (Structural Rigidity)
    Low Electrical Conductivity
    High Chemical Resistance
    Low Thermal Shrinkage
    High Toughness (Work-To-Break)
    Excellent Dimensional Stability
    High Cut Resistance
    Flame Resistant, Self-Extinguishing

    Mechanical Properties of Kevlar

    Some of Kevlar type &


    Applications
    There are three main types of Kevlar.
    1. Kevlaris used as a reinforcement material
    for some car tyres and bicycle tyres. It helps
    dramatically reduce puncture rates.
    This standard of tyre is more expensive than
    ordinary road tyres. They are of particular use
    with 4 x 4 vehicles, especially when the vehicle is
    being used off road and far away from recovery
    services.

    2. Kevlar 29is used in the manufacture of body


    armour (panels) for lightweight military vehicles. A
    good example is the US Armys Bradley Fighting
    Vehicle. This has been used extensively in Iraq and
    Afghanistan. Kevlar 29 was selected for its
    armour, because it is lightweight and withstands
    attack from RPGs. The Kevlar 29 panels protect
    the soldiers inside the
    vehicle.
    Kevlar 29 is ideal because it is lightweight and
    non-flammable and it offers protection from high
    temperatures (fire bombs, etc...). Kevlar 29 can
    also withstand the harsh environmental conditions,
    found in hot climates.

    3. Kevlar 49is used for specialist boat


    hulls and in the aerospace industry. It is
    popular as a material for boats because it is
    lightweight and can withstand a considerable
    amount of force(torque - twisting force), tensile
    stress and impact. Hulls manufactured from
    traditional materials, such as fibreglass, are
    limited in their resistance to forces and stress.
    Also , a lightweight boat is faster on the water
    and uses less fuel to complete distances.

    3. Kevlar 49 .
    Eurofighter is relatively light compared to other
    similar fighter jets, due to the selection of Kevlar
    49 as a material in its manufacture. This means that
    it can fly faster and further, before in-flight refuelling
    is needed. It is more agile than its rivals due to
    excellent force (torque - twisting force) and tensile
    stress resistance. The plane is more likely to survive
    being hit by small arms fire, compared to other fighter
    planes, as Kevlar 49 has excellent impact
    .resistance
