Pacifism is opposition to war, militarism, or violence. The word pacifism was coined by the French peace campaigner Ãmile Arnaud (1864â1921) and adopted by other peace activists at the tenth Universal Peace Congress in Glasgow in 1901. A related term is ahimsa (to do no harm), which is a core philosophy in Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism.
Much like Mylar is used for insulation of a building, it is also used to stabilize body temperature. Reflective emergency blankets were first used by NASA and are used to reflect a person's body heat back to their body. The blankets are often found in outdoor survival kits and are commonly used for shock victims.
Currently, Kevlar has many applications, ranging from bicycle tires and racing sails to body armor, because of its high tensile strength-to-weight ratio; by this measure it is 5 times stronger than steel.It is also used to make modern drumheads that withstand high impact.evlar is synthesized in solution from the monomers 1,4- phenylene-di amine (para-phenylenediamine) and terephthaloyl chloride in a condensation reaction yielding hydrochloric acid as a byproduct.
