Who discovered Kevlar?

           Nylon is not the only revolutionary material that took birth in Du Pont. Kevlar too was developed in the laboratories of Du Pont. This time, they were trying to manufacture a stronger tyre and during her efforts, Stephanie Kwolek accidentally discovered Kevlar.

           Kevlar is used to make a range of products. It is used to make the inner lining of bicycle tyres, as Kevlar lining helps the tyres to last longer and avoid being punctured. It also has a variety of applications in sports and musical instruments. Nike was the first company to use Kevlar to make sports shoes. They were followed by several others including Adidas.
