This amazing material has a tensile strength about equal to that of alloyed steel, a density 1/6 that of steel, and a tensile strength about half that of some aramid fibers.
Much research has been done to attempt to synthesize this material because of its many desireable properties.
Kevlar is a strong polymer reacted from a carboxylic acid and benzenediamine.
However, this material is composed of two proteins which contain two of the smallest amino acids, glycine and alanine.
