Researchers have used lasers to make graphene on Kevlar textiles, creating protective clothing that can record the wearer’s electrocardiogram (ECG) or sense a toxic gas (ACS Nano 2020, DOI: ...
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 ...
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 ...
As the need for increased safety and security increases in the United States and throughout the world, DuPont continues to develop new technologies and additional Kevlar fiber capacity to address ...

Pressed silk could replace wood and challenge Kevlar

Silk is traditionally considered either a fiber used in textiles or a biomedical scaffold but not a structural solid with ...
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 ...
