The thermal properties of Kevlar


Twerpy

Recommended Posts

I am doing a presentation on kevlar as a piece of AS coursework for physics. I've been told that I need to explain why the structure of Kevlar makes it a good insulator of heat (I'm saying how Kevlar is used to prevent friction burns in the Skeleton event in the winter olympics). I have googled myself half to death but I cant find anything. Can anyone help? If possible could the answers be kept relatively simple because I need to explain this to people and if I dont understand it myself I cant really impart knowledge.

 

Thanks
