Today (June 18, 2014) is Stephanie Louise Kwolek Memorial Day, when the first synthetic fiber poly-parabenylene terephthalate was discovered.

Stephanie Louise Kwolek was born on July 31, 1923, in the outskirts of New Kingston, Pennsylvania, and was the daughter of immigrant parents from Poland. His father, John Quolc, died when he was ten years old. He was a nature lover. After spending a lot of time with his father, Kuola began to explore the world of nature. She told her father about her interest in science and her mother, Nellie Kuola, about her interest in the fashion industry. Kuolak received his bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1946 from Margaret Morrison of Cornick Mellon University in Cornick College. He had planned to become a doctor. He also hoped to earn enough money to enroll in medical school from a temporary job in any field related to chemistry.

Hale Church, the author of Quolc, offered me a job in 1946 to work for DuPont, a company based in Buffalo, New York. This is a vacancy created by men who went abroad as a result of World War II. Kovalak joined the work temporarily because he needed money to study medicine. But after joining the company, he moved to Wilmington in 1950 to work for DuPont in Delaware. After working for the company for ten years, Kevlar co-founded the company. Before receiving all the other awards, he received the first American Chemical Society's Publication Award in 1959. They successfully tested a test that produces nylon fibers in a glass beaker at room temperature, commonly performed in classrooms, on polyamide-rich polyamides. His co-workers also patented the invention in 1985 for the production of PBO and PBT polymers.

Women in Chemistry: Stephanie Kwolek - Big Think

Has been associated with Dupont in the United States for over forty years. He is credited with discovering polypropylene terephthalate, one of the first synthetic fiber families to have exceptional strength and stiffness. This is called Kevlar fiber for short. Kuolak was honored with the DuPont Institute's Lewisier Award for Outstanding Technical Achievement. In February 2015, Kvolak became the only female employee to be honored with the award. Kuolak has received numerous medals for his work in multidisciplinary chemistry, including the American Medicine Innovation Medal, the Industrial Research Institute Achievement Award, and the Berkin Medal.

"I do not think there is such a thing as satisfaction and happiness in saving someone's life," says Stephanie Kuvalak. Stephanie Louisee Kvollak, who first discovered synthetic fiber poly-parabenylene terephthalate, passed away on June 18, 2014, in Wilmington, the USA at the age of 90.
