Kevlar is the registered trademark for a para-aramid synthetic fiber, related to other aramids such as Nomex and Technora. Developed by Stephanie Kwolek at DuPont in 1965, this high-strength material was first commercially used in the early 1970s as a replacement for steel in racing tires. Typically it is spun into ropes or fabric sheets that can be used as such or as an ingredient in composite material components.
Currently, Kevlar has many applications, ranging from bicycle tires and racing sails to body armor, because of its high tensile strength-to-weight ratio; by this measure it is 5 times stronger than steel. It is also used to make modern drumheads that withstand high impact. When used as a woven material, it is suitable for mooring lines and other underwater applications.
A similar fiber called Twaron with roughly the same chemical structure was developed by Akzo in the 1970s; commercial production started in 1986, and Twaron is now manufactured by Teijin.
Poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide – branded Kevlar – was invented by Polish-American chemist Stephanie Kwolek while working for DuPont, in anticipation of a gasoline shortage. In 1964, her group began searching for a new lightweight strong fiber to use for light but strong tires. The polymers she had been working with at the time, poly-p-phenylene-terephthalate and polybenzamide, formed liquid crystal while in solution, something unique to those polymers at the time.
Heute Nacht wird dir klar dass der Liebe Gott dich nich liebt
dass sich der Tag der Erlösung noch etwas verschiebt
Zehn Biere im Sturzflug und die Eingangstür fest im Visier
Die rettende Kavallerie
die kommt heut nicht mehr
Ein Grafikdesigner und das Zahlen mit richtigem Geld
Du hältst deinen Platz an der Bar wie ein richtiger Held
Die ganze Welt gegen einen das ist nicht fair
Die rettende Kavallerie
die kommt heut nicht mehr
Der letzte Gedanke versinkt im vorletzten Glas
Schön war die Zeit wo sie hier mit dir immer saß
Grab dich tief ein und setz dich mit allem zur Wehr
Die rettende Kavallerie
die kommt heut nicht mehr
