The E. I du Pont de Nemours & Company minute books document an important era in the history of the company from just before the turn of the twentieth century through the 1930s. The DuPont Company in this time went through many changes in structure...
The papers of Paul Arthur are comprised of material collected by Dr. Arthur’s sister, Dorothy Arthur from 1967 through the 1988. The Collection is divided into two series. The first contains press releases from the DuPont Company and includes...
A physicist in DuPont's Central Research Department measures the magnetic properties of new class of antimonides discovered in a fundamental research program- chromium manganese antimonides, a new material with unique on and off magnetic...
This is a knock testing engine being used by DuPont for fundamental combustion research. Since its beginning in 1927, DuPont's fundamental research program has proved helpful in laying the foundation for applied research along many lines. In this...
The research lab is the heart of the modern chemical industry. Large sums of money are annually spent for research. Many trained men are employed. The chemical operations demand the utmost care and are frequently quite complex. This image shows a...
A DuPont chemist uses electrochemical measurements to determine the course of an organic chemical reaction. Studies like this are part of a continuing program of fundamental research aimed at finding better polymers which may be used to make...
Although Mylar polyester film was introduced by DuPont more than 12 years ago, research on this product continues. Here in the Film Department's Research and Development Laboratory at the Circleville, Ohio plant, a research chemist makes a modified...
The Barotor, developed by DuPont research and produced commercially under license by manufacturers of dyeing equipment for rapid dyeing of large yardages of fabric under pressure, is typical of accomplishments of DuPont's $6 million Textile...
Fundamental research project in properties of pigments conducted by this physical chemist at the DuPont Company's Experimental Station using a linear accelerator. In the experiment, a high vacuum line is used with a volatile compound in contact...
Early research work on titanium metal is illustrated here by DuPont scientist. A thimble full of titanium crystals on an electrode was a peak test tube output. DuPont announced the world's first small scale commercial production in 1948. Since...
Research for the Electrochemicals Department, including metal plating study, above, is carried on at Niagara Falls. This department also conducts research chlorinated hydrocarbons, cyanides, adiponitrile and other products derived from furfural,...
Fundamental chemical research is important in the development of petroleum additives. This complicated looking apparatus is used by DuPont in its laboratories at Deepwater Point, New Jersey for studying rates of organic chemical reactions. DuPont...
Dr. Joseph Balthis, research chemist, is carrying out distillation at a controlled research pressure in a hood in one of the two man laboratories of the Chemical department's lab shown to visitors to the dedication of the addition to the DuPont...
At the Experimental Station, DuPont carries out fundamental research as a vital part of its scientific activities. This type of research is conducted to uncover new knowledge without regard to specific commercial objectives. Here in a fundamental...
This photograph illustrates the wide variety of training and skill necessary to carry out research efficiently on the large scale on which it is conducted at DuPont's Experimental Station. Many specialists, in addition to research chemists,...
At the DuPont Company's Experimental Station, Wilmington Delaware, this Explosives Department research chemist uses high vacuum, glass equipment in a study that may lead to a new chemical compound or a new and better way of making a known compound....
Shown at his laboratory bench is a member of the staff of the Eastern Laboratory of the DuPont Company's Explosives Department at Gibbstown, New Jersey. Established in 1902, this was the first of DuPonts research laboratories and is believed to...
