Stephanie Kwolek invented Kevlar while researching new lightweight, high-strength fibers for use in tires at DuPont in the 1960s. During her experiments, she discovered a unique polymer solution that, when spun into fibers, exhibited remarkable strength and stiffness. The unexpected properties of this material led to the development of Kevlar, which is now widely used in various applications, including bulletproof vests and other protective gear. Her innovative approach and keen insights into polymer chemistry were crucial to this groundbreaking invention.
