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

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
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 ...

Study on dynamic and static tensile and puncture-resistant mechanical properties of impregnated STF multi-dimensional structure Kevlar fiber reinforced composites

Open Physics
Shear thickening fluid (STF)-impregnated Kevlar fabric can be used as “Liquid armor” for the protection of weapons and equipment. The concentration of dispersed phase in STF and the fabric structure are important factors that affect the mechanical ...

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

A New Paradigm for Understanding the Rheology and Processability of Poly(p‐Phenylene Terephthalamide) Liquid‐Crystalline Solutions

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 34, September 10, 2026.
Kevlar is traditionally modeled as a rigid‐rod polymer, yet rheological behavior deviates from this assumption. The review introduces a novel “twist‐tie” entanglement theory for aramid polymer chains in the nematic liquid crystal state, providing a molecular explanation for deviations from rigid‐rod models. Understanding twist‐tie entanglement dynamics

Deep Mutational Scanning for the Study and Engineering of Protein Assemblies

Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
This review explores how deep mutational scanning (DMS) can be used to improve understanding and accelerate engineering of protein assemblies, from natural fibers to engineered nanocages. We discuss various types of protein assemblies and their characterization, provide an introduction to the DMS technique, and then highlight examples in which DMS has ...

A Porous Kevlar Separator for Impact‐Tolerant Lithium‐Ion Batteries

ChemElectroChem, Volume 13, Issue 14, 17 July 2026.
A porous Kevlar separator with high ionic conductivity and superior thermal stability was developed via a porogen‐assisted method for impact‐tolerant lithium‐ion batteries. The assembled batteries demonstrate electrochemical performance comparable to commercial separator while offering enhanced impact resistance.
