Carbon Aramid Jacquard Fibre Cloth

Aramid fibers are polar in nature owing to the presence of hydrogen bonds. This property enhances the wettability of aramid fibers and makes them chemically more active than UHMWPE fibers. On the other hand, this is also responsible for the hydrolytic degradation of aramid fibers in the presence of high temperature and humidity conditions. Aramid fiber-based UD composite materials use high-performance aramid fibers as the reinforcement. The fibers commonly used are Kevlar®, Zylon® or PBO fibers, and M5® fibers. The common characteristics of aramid fibers are (Bhatnagar, 2006) the following:

1.High strength-to-weight properties and high tenacity

2.Good resistance to abrasion and cutting

3.Chemically resistant to organic solvents but sensitive to some acids, bases, and chlorine.

4.Nonconductive under regular conditions, but prone to hydrolytic degradation under high temperature and humidity conditions

5.Good fabric integrity at elevated temperatures

6.Sensitive to degradation on exposure to UV radiation
