material properties of Kevlar 1

[fco330]

I would like any information on the material properties of Kevlar. I would also like the thermo conductivity of kevlar. I really appreciate any info.

There are multiple types of Kevlar. Matweb lists properties for this material, and most others. Here is a link to one of their Kevlar pages:

Kevlar is the trade name by DuPont (

for an aramid fiber. You can search matweb (

http://www.matweb.com)

for kevlar and come up with about 68 results.

You can also look up MIL-HDBK-17 for composite information, but the version I have does not have any data on aramid fibers.

In DuPonts Folder Titled "Kevlar in Mechanical rubber Goods, Technical Database" it list the thermal conductivity of Kevlar as 0.04 Joule/(sec.cm^2.K.cm)this compares with 0.23 and 0.15 quoted for Nylon and Polyester, respectively. It also gives the general comment that "the thermal conductivity of Kevlar is much lower than that of other organic fibres.
