308 HIGH PERFORMANCE POLYMERS
completely miscible blends even at a high con-
tent of aramid.
Blends composed from pure poly(styrene) (PS)
and amino-functionalized poly(styrene) and an
aramide made from 1,5-diaminonaphthalene and 1,4-
phenylenediamine with isophthaloyl chloride have
been described [59]. The amino groups effect a
remarkable cocontinuous self-assembled morphology.
13.3 Properties
Properties of an aramid fiber are shown in
Table 13.2. Extensive tables of chemical stability are
given in the literature [60]. Nomex® can be chlo-
rinated without any significant decomposition, how-
ever, Kevlar® decomposes under the same condi-
tions of chlorination. ...
