Orphaned references in Kevlar

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Kevlar's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Book":

From Asbestos: Jessica Elzea Kogel; et al., eds. (2006). Industrial minerals & rocks: commodities, markets, and uses. Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration. p. 195. ISBN 978-0-87335-233-8.
From Lester Shubin: Sharon Rose, Neil Schlager (2003). How things are made: from automobiles to zippers. Black Dog & Leventhal. ISBN 1-57912-274-4.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:35, 11 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I would like to provide a citation for the missing citation under 'Production'

Quote needing citation : "Kevlar production is expensive because of the difficulties arising from using concentrated sulfuric acid, needed to keep the water-insoluble polymer in solution during its synthesis and spinning"

Kevlar verses materials that contain Kevlar

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This article describes all sorts of uses for Kevlar as if Kevlar is always the whole of the material. Where ever the article discusses a use, it ought to specify in what form Kevlar is used, eg is it woven fibers, is it chopped kevlar fibers reinforced epoxy resin, is it chopped kevlar fibers reinforced polypropylene, is it knitted fibres, it is braided fibres...

Kevlar strenght (contd)

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Was researching Kevlar for something and my source text claimed 10x higher tensile strength, vs. the 5x on this article and the linked DuPont source. Can the sentence be rephrased to reflect the current DuPont wording? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DorotheaBredon (talk • contribs) 12:38, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
