Spandex, also known as elastane or Lycra, was first developed in the United States by chemist Joseph Shivers in 1958 while working for DuPont. It is a synthetic fiber made from a polymer known as polyurethane. While its invention took place in the U.S., spandex is now produced and used globally in various textile applications.
