What is your protective application? What are you protecting against? If you are trying to protect a surface exposed to hard UV rays the answer will be different than if you are trying to protect a surface from moisture.

i'm focus on polymer dispersion based shear thickening fluid-fabric for protection application... such as sport pads n body armor...

but i was not used neat kevlar for the fabric but i want used neat nylon n cotton...
even i know the strength of the kevlar is slightly higher than nylon n cotton...
in the malaysia,,,buy the excellent kevlar for my thesis is impossible because of the its price...

so, what do u think chemistree... i needs a guide from u for doing right thing in my thesis...
