Overview
Aramid fibers are notable for their heat-resistence and strength. They are most often used in aerospace and military applications, particularly in personal armor composites for protection from ballistic forces.
New aramid for armor
DuPont has launched Kevlar XP for hard armor applications to provide extra protection and extra performance in ballistic protection applications.

Massive aramid/carbon composite sandwich panels make Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum the largest composite-clad building in the world.
Composites: Materials and processes 1/3/2012 Composites TechnologyHigh strength and low weight remain the winning combination that propels composite materials into new arenas, but other properties —vibrational damping and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), fatigue resistance are jsut as appealing. Moreover, the potential for significant parts consolidation provides design/fabrication flexibility that can translate into a finished product that requires less raw material, fewer joints and fasteners and shorter assembly time.
