    Kevlar is a synthetic fiber invented in 1965 by Stephanie Kwolek and Herbert Blades while working for DuPont. It is 5 times stronger than steel but also flexible and heat resistant, making it ideal for uses like bulletproof vests, combat helmets, sports equipment, and cables. Kevlar is created through an aramid weave that turns liquid into a solid fiber that is difficult to corrode and light weight.

    Herbert Blades in 1965 for
    Dupont Company of U.S.A.
    Kevlar…
    • A special way of weaving liquid
    into a solid called aramid weave
    • Aramid fibers like Kevlar are:
    –Difficult to corrode but maybe
    slightly corrosive if exposed to
    chlorine
    Kevlar’s Properties
    • Heat- resistant
    • Flexible
    • No melting point
    • Lightweight so ideal for
    bulletproof vests
    • Five times stronger than the same
    weight of steel
    Applications

    • Armor: combat helmet, face mask


    • Personal protection: jacket and
    bulletproof vest
    • Sports equipment: bicycle tires,
    shoes
    • Windsurfing
    sails that can
    withstand the
    force of 60
    mph winds and
    do not rip
    easily are
    made of
    Kevlar.
    • Under water,
    Kevlar is 20 times
    stronger than
    steel. These
    Kevlar cables are
    supporting a sonar
    facility that the

    find out how much
    noise submarines
    make.
    Other applications of Kevlar
    • Audio equipment: loudspeaker
