Experimental and Modeling Investigation of Seawater Hydrolysis Effects on Aramid Fiber Rupture Behavior

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 15, Page 3289-3309, 1 August 2026.
Hydrolytic aging in seawater produces markedly different mechanical responses among commercial Aramid fibers. While some fibers exhibit progressive degradation, others maintain stable or even improved tensile behavior. Experimental yarn‐scale testing combined with mathematical degradation modeling and Arrhenius‐based lifetime prediction provides new ...

Physical and Thermomechanical Performance of Kevlar and Carbon–Kevlar‐Reinforced Geopolymer Composites at Elevated Temperatures

Journal of Engineering
Fiber‐reinforced geopolymer composites (GPCs) are garnering heightened interest owing to their exceptional thermal stability and mechanical properties relative to traditional cement‐based systems. Kevlar and carbon–Kevlar hybrids are notably advantageous due to their exceptional tensile strength, low density, and ability to maintain structural ...
