Aramid fibers：
Aramid fibers are a class of heat-resistant and strong synthetic fibers. They are used in aerospace and military applications, for ballistic rated body armor fabric and ballistic composites, in bicycle tires, and as an asbestos substitute.
The name is aportmanteau of "aromatic polyamide". They are fibers in which the chain molecules are highly oriented along the fiber axis, so the strength of the chemical bond can be exploited.
Aramids share a high degree of orientation with other fibers such as ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, a characteristic that dominates their properties.
General characteristics:
good resistance to abrasion
good resistance to organic solvents
nonconductive
no melting point, degradation starts from 500°C
low flammability
good fabric integrity at elevated temperatures
sensitive to acids and salts
sensitive to ultraviolet radiation
prone to static build-up unless finished
