Some polymers can form liquid crystal mesophases with unusual physical properties. For example, liquid crystalline Kevlar (3) is strong enough to be the material of choice for bulletproof vests and is stable at temperatures up to 600 K. What molecular interactions contribute to the formation, thermal stability, and mechanical strength of liquid crystal mesophases in Kevlar?
