What is the history of Velcro?

The hook-and-loop fastener was conceived in 1941 by Swiss engineer, Georges de Mestralwho lived in Commugny, Switzerland. The idea came to him one day after returning from a hunting trip with his dog in the Alps.He took a close look at the burrs(seeds) of burdockthat kept sticking to his clothes and his dog's fur. He examined them under a microscope, and noted their hundreds of "hooks" that caught on anything with a loop, such as clothing, animal fur, or hair. He saw the possibility of binding two materials reversibly in a simple fashion if he could figure out how to duplicate the hooks and loops.


How was velcro invented?

The idea for Velcro came to George de Mestral, a Swiss engineer, after returning from a walk in the Alps with his dogs. He examined the burrs stuck to both his jacket and the dogs' fur under a microscope. After much experimentation, he discovered that when sewn under hot infrared light, nylon formed hooks that were perfect for the hook side of the fastener. Making the looped side was another problem entirely. Nylon thread was resilient and when heated would retain its shape but it had to be cut in just the right spot so that it could be stuck and unstuck repeatedly. Eventually, when he was about to give up, he cut the tops off of the loops and created hooks that match up perfectly with the loops.
