In this paper, I have dissected the chemistry and the growing markets of the specialty fibers Kevlar and Nomex. Each of these fibers has shown extensive growth over the last few decades with growth expected to continue over the next several years. This poses the question on whether we should expand into these markets and capitalize on this growth or sit by the wayside. In my opinion, the outlook for polyamids such as Kevlar and Nomex aramids is very good. Du Pont, an established company whose products are well known and trusted, dominates the production of these fibers. Over the next several years, Du Pont is going to profit from the production of these fibers. With the established name brand and quality that Du Pont already holds, the barriers to enter the market are too great for any company to start up and take their strangle hold over the aramid market. The invention of these fibers grew from the research from making very basic items into one of the most structurally sound products made today.
