High-performance polymers based on amide aromatic rings are known as wholly aromatic polyamides or aramids. The arrangement and admirable properties of aramids are built on the basis of amide linkage and rigid aromaticity. Aramids are attractive because of their extraordinary bond strengths and very high stiffness. Synthetic aromatic polymeric chains provide increased mechanical resistance and thermal softening compared to aliphatic aramids. In addition, aramids exhibit high thermal stability, low creep, and good optical activity with fluorescence. Hence, aramids are found in advanced arenas for engineering thermoplastics such as transport applications, electroactive materials, films, bullet-proof body armor, smart materials, protective clothing, fibers, in nanocomposites as asbestos alternatives, cutting edge complexes in arming, high-temperature lining material, in space engineering, and more. The objective of this review is to make the field of aramids functionality more accessible to the materials science community, that is, scientists, academicians, and engineers.

芳纶功能化学研究进展

基于酰胺芳环的高性能聚合物被称为全芳族聚酰胺或芳纶。芳纶的排列和令人钦佩的性能建立在酰胺键和刚性芳香性的基础上。芳纶因其非凡的粘合强度和非常高的刚度而具有吸引力。与脂肪族芳族聚酰胺相比，合成芳香族聚合物链具有更高的机械阻力和热软化性。此外，芳纶表现出高热稳定性、低蠕变和良好的荧光光学活性。因此，芳纶被用于工程热塑性塑料的先进领域，例如运输应用、电活性材料、薄膜、防弹防弹衣、智能材料、防护服、纤维、作为石棉替代品的纳米复合材料、武装中的尖端复合物、高温衬里材料、空间工程等。这篇综述的目的是让材料科学界，即科学家、院士和工程师更容易接触芳纶功能领域。
