Kevlar is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, being about five times stronger than steel on an equal weight basis. Developed by Stephanie Kwolek at DuPont in 1965, it's widely used in products requiring high durability, such as bulletproof vests, helmets, and sports equipment. Kevlar is also heat-resistant, making it suitable for applications in firefighting gear and aerospace engineering.
