Kevlar

Kevlar Using Kevlar in a Dangerous World During the heat of battle, the knight clad with chain-mail armor was hit multiple times with the enemy’s swords, but managed to be unscathed. Throughout history, people have found certain materials that provide protection from weapons, and aid in construction, but none of them compare to the benefits offered by Kevlar. Stephanie Kwolek, a Dupont Chemist, created Kevlar in 1965 while mixing petrochemicals. The purpose of her experiment was to find a better fiber for radial tires, not to create a fiber for bulletproof vests. She soon realized this new fiber which she created was five times stronger than steel. The man who found Kevlar useful in bulletproof vests was Joe Rivers. He was a fellow colleague of Stephanie Kwolek (“Newsweek,” 1997).
