Stephanie Kwolek
Stephanie Louise Kwolek (July 31, 1923 – June 18, 2014) was an American chemist, whose career at the DuPont company spanned over forty years.〔 She is best known for inventing the first of a family of synthetic fibers of exceptional strength and stiffness: poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide—better known as Kevlar.〔〔(Wholly Aromatic Carbocyclic Polycarbonamide Fiber ) Original Kevlar patent awarded in 1974 to Stephanie Kwolek〕 For her discovery, Kwolek was awarded the DuPont company's Lavoisier Medal for outstanding technical achievement. As of February 2015, she was the only female employee to have received that honor.〔 In 1995 she became the fourth woman to be added to the National Inventors Hall of Fame.〔 Kwolek won numerous awards for her work in polymer chemistry, including the National Medal of Technology, the IRI Achievement Award and the Perkin Medal.〔
==Early life and education==
Kwolek was born to Polish immigrant parents in the Pittsburgh suburb of New Kensington, Pennsylvania, in 1923. Her father, John Kwolek〔 ((ポーランド語:Jan Chwałek)), died when she was ten years old.〔 He was a naturalist by avocation, and Kwolek spent hours with him, as a child, exploring the natural world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.chemheritage.org/discover/online-resources/chemistry-in-history/themes/petrochemistry-and-synthetic-polymers/synthetic-polymers/kwolek.aspx )〕〔 She attributed her interest in science to him and an interest in fashion to her mother, Nellie (Zajdel) Kwolek.〔〔〔
In 1946, Kwolek earned a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in chemistry from Margaret Morrison Carnegie College of Carnegie Mellon University. She had planned to become a doctor and hoped she could earn enough money from a temporary job in a chemistry-related field to attend medical school.〔
