http://www.madehow.com/Volume-5/Spacesuit.html. Raw Materials for making EVA suits Numerous raw materials are used for constructing a spacesuit. Fabric materials include a variety of different synthetic polymers. - The innermost layer is made up of a Nylon tricot material. - Another layer is composed of spandex, an elastic wearable polymer. - There is also a layer of urethane-coated nylon, which is involved in pressurization. - Dacron—a type of polyester—is used for a pressure-restraining layer. - Other synthetic fabrics used include Neoprene that is a type of sponge rubber, aluminized Mylar, Gortex, Kevlar, and Nomex. Beyond synthetic fibers other raw materials have important roles. - Fiberglass is the primary material for the hard upper torso segment. - Lithium hydroxide is used in making the filter which removes carbon dioxide and water vapor during a space walk. - A silver zinc blend comprises the battery that powers the suit. - Plastic tubing is woven into the fabric to transport cooling water throughout the suit. - A polycarbonate material is used for constructing the shell of the helmet. Various other components are used to make up the electronic circuitry and suit controls.
