Very resistant synthetic fiber used for protection such as, for example, bulletproof vest or butcher gloves or firefighter suits because it also withstands high temperatures and chemical abrasions. It was discovered by Polish chemist Stephanie Kwolek in 1965. I read a few days ago that Japanese scientists have managed to genetically modify silkworms to produce this very resistant fiber.
