WBCS.LIVE practice question

Kevlar, a synthetic fiber known for its exceptionally high tensile strength, belongs to which class of polymers?

Solve this multiple-choice question and check the correct answer with its explanation below.

Answer options

  1. Polyamides
  2. Polyolefins
  3. Polyesters
  4. Polycarbonates

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Polyamides

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: A) Polyamides šŸ“š Explanation: Kevlar is an incredibly strong, heat-resistant synthetic fiber primarily used in aerospace engineering and bulletproof body armor. Chemically, it is an aromatic polyamide (aramid). It achieves its immense strength from a highly rigid molecular structure heavily supported by intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the polymer chains.
