Originally developed for tyre cords, Kevlar-type materials have also become widely used in composites. Uses include filament-wound rocket motors and pressure vessels, metal-lined Kevlar-overwrapped vessels in the space shuttle, boat and kayak hulls, Kevlar-epoxy helmets for the US military, and as one of the reinforcements in composite lorry cabs. 

In order to match the safety issues, future pressure vessels include three layers an inner polymer liner, overwrapped with a high-strength and high-elasticity carbon fiber composite, and an outer layer of an aramid-material capable of withstanding mechanical and corrosion damage [107],...
