Scientists from Harvard have developed what they say is a material that is not only strong against impacts like Kevlar but also protects against heat and cold. The material is 20 times as insulating ...

DuPont and KINETIXX extend the performance envelope of aramid fibers with Kevlar ® EXO™ in consumer-facing precision sporting systems. TW Special Report. A fter more than fifte ...

For over 50 years, Kevlar® has collaborated with manufacturers to continuously improve the protection, durability, and comfort of protective gloves and sleeves. The DuPont™ Kevlar® Innovation Awards ...

Kevlar and Twaron are famously tough materials, but there’s a bit of a trade-off to be made between strength, heat resistance and weight. Now, researchers have created a new nanofiber version of the ...

Polyaramid Polyparaphenylene Terephthalamide ( Kevlar / Twaron ) is an infusible, wholly aromatic polymer that can strictly be described as nylon T,T - but rarely is. Manufactured only as a fibre (by ...

Kevlar based artificial cartilage can stand as a good replacement option for cartilage in cartilage replacement surgeries, found a new study published in Advanced materials journal. The unparalleled ...

In terms of engineering merit, the cartilage in your joints is something of an evolutionary marvel. Take your knee joint, for example. Ligaments provide the bone-to-bone connections that allow and ...

Is Kevlar one of the architectural wonders of the future? In Ellen Kullman’s opinion, it’s a slam-dunk. The DuPont CEO -- the first woman to ever hold the job -- traveled to Bushy Park, South Carolina ...

Genghis Khan’s armor makers probably never took a formal course in materials science, but they were skilled materials scientists just the same. According to historians, the early-13th-century Mongol ...

It's been 40 years since a Dupont scientist discovered Kevlar, which researchers first thought might be good for tires. Now it's synonymous with bulletproof vests. The biggest factory is in Richmond, ...

Scientists have a new material they say is as strong as Kevlar and way more insulating. The resulting fiber structure could protect first responders and military personnel who are in danger from heat ...
