The tensile strength of Zylon® AS is 5.8 GPa, tensile modulus 180 GPa, and elongation at break 3.5%. The modulus increases substantially by heat treatment at 580 °C up to 280 GPa, while elongation at break decreases to 2.5%.
Is Zylon stronger than steel?
Zylon (IUPAC name: poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole)) is a trademarked name for a range of thermoset liquid-crystalline polyoxazole. … Zylon has 5.8 GPa of tensile strength, which is 1.6 times that of Kevlar. Additionally Zylon has a high Young’s modulus of 270 GPa, meaning that it is stiffer than steel.
