Bifunctional diazirine reagent for covalent dyeing of Kevlar and inert polymer materials

We report a convenient bifunctional diazirine reagent that is capable of photochemically modifying inert polymers, particularly those used in fibers and textiles for ballistics and blast protective gear, such as para-aramid and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The reagent's st...
