Kevlar: The Synthetic that is Stronger than Steel!
Kevlar was invented in 1965 by Dupont scientist Stephanie Kwolek and was patented in 1966.
This material is extremely versatile
in terms of its weight and flexibility. It is also fire retardant and does not rust or corrode. Along with all of this, Kevlar is five times stronger than steel. This makes it extremely reliable in all of its applications.
Kevlar comes from the monomers 1, 4-phenylene-diamine and terephthaloyl chloride when combined in a condensation reaction; however, this has been changed for safety reasons and is now formed with N-methyl-pyrrolidone and calcium chloride.
