Lycra, a brand name of Spandex, is a man-made fiber that can stretch better than rubber and will not break down after exposure to body oils, lotions, detergent, or perspiration. After ten years of research, DuPont Chemical Company's scientist Joseph C. Shivers invented it in 1959. Lyra is added into fabrics to allow these fabrics to stretch. The invention of Lycra immediately revolutionized clothing worldwide.
