No, Kevlar is a para-aramid synthetic fiber. Basically a really really tough cloth-like material. Polycarbonate products, such as Lexan windows, are very hard and rigid. They can be molded to fit a specific application but are not flexible like Kevlar is.

No, Kevlar is not a polycarbonate. Kevlar is a synthetic fiber while polycarbonate is a type of thermoplastic polymer. Kevlar is typically used in body armor and protective gear due to its high strength and heat resistance.
No, Kevlar is a synthetic polymer, with the systematic name of poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide
Probably Polycarbonate. Even thin bits of Polycarbonate can withstand gun fire.
The unit weight of a 2mm thick polycarbonate sheet depends on the specific density of the polycarbonate material being used. On average, the unit weight of a 2mm thick polycarbonate sheet is approximately 1.2 kg/square meter.
Stephanie Kwolek invented Kevlar in 1965 while working as a chemist at DuPont. Kevlar is a strong and lightweight synthetic fiber that is well-known for its use in ballistic protection and other high-strength applications.
No, Kevlar is not a pure substance. It is a synthetic fiber made from a combination of organic polymers.
Yes, Kevlar is a trademarked term for a type of para-aramid synthetic fiber developed by DuPont. While the specific formulation of Kevlar is patented, the use of para-aramid fibers in general is not restricted by patent.
