Kevlar¿ fibers are based on poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide, a rigid molecule that makes it easier to realize a fully extended, or straight, chain configuration.

You know what Kevlar is. It’s the material that is often used to make vests or other gear to protect against projectile impacts.It’s good at what it does, which is to make sure that whatever ...

For example, regular Kevlar is roughly 0.26 or .27 inches thick, and the new material could be as thin as 0.19 inches, says Hovanec. “It’s a noticeable decrease in thickness of the material.” ...

Stephanie Kwolek, a DuPont chemist who invented the synthetic fibers used in Kevlar body armor, has died at the age of 90, her colleagues said Friday.

This Kevlar/Nextel shielding, in a "stuffed Whipple (Opens in a new window)" layout, is used to protect the ESA's Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) and manned modules of the International Space ...

A new study published in Nature last month has assessed the ability of two materials, the Ocean Guardian Scuba7 and Kevlar, to reduce and minimize the injuries from shark bites.

Kevlar is some pretty cool shit. It’s made of ultra-strong plastic polymers, is relatively light, can withstand most chemical attacks, and is, obviously, bulletproof. But about that last thing ...

Key Words ‘What, do you think deer are wearing Kevlar vests?’ — Biden gets colorful in calling for gun control President’s line on deer and DuPont’s invention was not in his prepared remarks ...

Well, in the photo above, you can see the exit hole created by a tiny piece of aluminium space debris in a piece of Kevlar shielding -- the same shielding that protects the manned modules of the ...
