1999 Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award Winner Stephanie L. Kwolek

Stephanie Kwolek graduated college in 1946 with a degree in chemistry and dreams of becoming a doctor. Unable to afford medical school at the time, Kwolek went to work as a chemist at Dupont's research facility instead, ultimately saving more lives than may have been possible even if she had become a doctor.
Kwolek received the 1999 Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award for her innovations in the polymers industry, most notably her invention of Kevlar®, the high-strength fiber that is the life-saving material of bulletproof vests. Kwolek has also contributed to the development of such synthetics as Lycra®, Spandex®, Nomex® and Kapton®.
