Which one of the following polymeric materials used for making bullet proof jacket? Correct Answer Kevlar

The correct answer is option(3) i.e. Kevlar.

  • Kevlar is used for making a bulletproof jacket.
  • Polymeric material:
    • It is a large molecule or macromolecule composed of millions of repeated linked units, each a relatively light and simple molecule.
  • Polymeric Materials journal deals with the subject areas of Material Science and Organic Chemistry. 
    •  The polymer is a substance made up of a large number of smaller molecules that link together to form larger molecules. 
    • Example of Polymeric material- An example of a synthetic polymer is plastic. An example of a natural polymer is rubber.  
    • Nylon6.6 is a synthetic polymer called a polyamide because of the characteristic monomers of amides in the backbone chain.
    • Two different molecules (adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine) are combined to create repeat units of 6 carbon atoms, thus the name nylon 6.6.
