Kevlar is a well known high-strength polymer with a variety of important applications – think bullet-proof vests and car armor plating. However, Kevlar is not soluble in any common solvent and, having ...

Kevlar is strong but can fail, as a microscope shows. I'm not so sure. First, the negatives: Four decades after its debut in Formula 1 racing tires, Kevlar is still pricey and highly proprietary.

In space, Kevlar has served as a thermal insulator for satellites and, since the 1990s, as a key component in space debris protection systems.

When the researchers draped the Kevlar-PEG sheet over the plate, however, it disappeared because the PEG absorbs and releases IR emissions more slowly and blends into the background.

The researchers also managed to get 22 bites from the sharks; 12 on the Kevlar-neoprene material (six on 5 mm, six on 3 mm) and 10 bites on standard neoprene (six on 5 mm, four on 3 mm).

The Kevlar camera will have the same specs as the rest of the Q2 lineup, which offers a 47.3-megapixel sensor and a fixed lens with a digital zoom that adjusts to 28, 35, 50, and 75mm focal lengths.

Kevlar has been used to make sporting goods "lighter, stronger and safer," according to DuPont. It can be found in motorcycle components and clothing, as well as skis, racquets, canoes and kayaks.
