content: Total Running Time: 20:00

In the final tape of the Stephanie Kwolek interview, she discusses her role in advertising Kevlar, and her isolation as a research assistant from the bad publicity DuPont faced during the Vietnam War. She finishes the interview by encouraging youth to enter the field of chemistry with a broad academic background that includes mathematics and business courses. 

Kwolek then holds up various products made of Kevlar and briefly discusses their use. The products include a glove intended to protect wearers from sharp objects, a cable made of ropes of Kevlar to anchor oil rigs in the ocean and a fiber optic cable. 

The last scenes of the video are shots of spooled fiber, a helmet, a bullet-proof vest, the gloves and the cable shown by Kwolek, a pair of Kevlar pants, a sheet of Kevlar, a sheet of Kevlar with bullets lodged in it, and a strand of Kevlar rope.
