RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted June 21, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 21, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-27951043 The inventor of Kevlar, the lightweight fibre used in bulletproof vests and body armour, has died aged 90. Stephanie Kwolek was a chemist at the DuPont company in Wilmington, Delaware, when she invented the stronger-than-steel fibre in 1965. A lot of people owe their lives to her because of it's use in protective clothing and of course it's used for other things too.
