Infrared Spectroscopy of Polymers XII: Polyaramids and Slip Agents

After introducing organic nitrogen polymers in the last column, we continue this theme by studying an important family of polymers—polyaramids. In examine spectra polyaramids, which are polyamides that contain aromatic ring their chain. Included is Kevlar, polymer many familiar with. We also “slip agents,” small molecule amides used to lubricate injection molds and oftentimes found as contaminants products.
