  • Which polymer is used to make aramids?
  • The polymer poly-metaphenylene isophthalamide is used to make meta- aramids and the polymer p-phenylene terephthalamide to make para-aramids. Because the aramids decompose before they melt they are produced by wet and dry spinning methods. Sulphuric acid is the normal solvent used in the spinning processes.
  • What is aramid used for?
  • Originally developed as a replacement for steel in radial tires, aramid is now used in a wide range of applications. It is a trade name of aramid fiber. (vigotsky, 2002) First time aramid fibers commercially introduced by an American company DuPont in 1960 with trade name of Nomex.
  • Can aramid fibers be used in thermoplastics?
  • Recently, researchers are exploring thermoplastics with aramids, due to their higher toughness, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. Modification of aramid fibers is mostly performed using nanomaterials, e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene, silk fibroins, SiO 2, and ZnO, for enhancing their performance and minimizing fiber buckling under load.
  • What are some examples of para aramid fibers?
  • Kevlar and technora are example of para-aramid fibers. (Hearle, 2001) (Properties of Aramid Fibers, 2015) Aramid fibers are available with different trade names. There properties are determine by the manufacturing process, conditions in which fibers are prepared and end uses.
  • How are aramids made?
  • Aramids are made into fiber form by spinning the dissolved polymer into a solid fiber form. During the production process they can be manufactured into a fiber, chopped fiber, powder, or pulp form.
  • What is aramid fiber used for?
  • Aramid fibers have extremely high tensile strength, which is why they are commonly used in armor and ballistic protection applications. With a distinctive yellow color, aramid fibers are frequently used in advanced composite products which require high-strength and light-weight properties.
