The chemical being poured and the foams surrounding the scientist in the Elastomers Laboratory at Chestnut Run are made form DuPont's new organic isocyanates. Customer combine the isocyanates with other chemicals to produce urethane foams, which...
Laboratory apparatus of various types is used by DuPont researchers in their studies. Here, in a Plastics Department laboratory at the Experimental Station, a scientist tests a catalyst he created for inducing reactions to produce high polymers,...
At DuPont, research is constantly being enlarged and broadened. Ideas for new products and new processes are always being studied in laboratories, such as the one shown here at Marshall Laboratory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Here a scientist...
The catalytic reaction being observed by this DuPont scientist is part of the Electrochemicals Department's long range research program. One dramatic result of this type of research was a new process for making vinyl acetate, a polymer intermediate...
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...
In a fundamental research project, a scientist in the Central Research Department at the DuPont Company's Experimental Station, prepares a monomer that will later be used in a polymerization study. One of the components boils at 29 degrees below...
River's flow is determined by meter that sounds 'ping' in scientist's ear as tiny cups revolve. The scientists collected hundreds of species of fish, clams, insects, snails and plants living in and along the Guadalupe River.
An electric eye enables this ultraviolet photometer, at left, developed by scientist of DuPont's Rayon Technical Division and Electrochemicals Department, to see shadows of invisible vapors and gases in plant atmosphere. Here intake hose of...

As a scientist Carter Litchfield (1932-2007) studied and specialized in edible
fats. During the mid- to late 1950s Litchfield worked in the Edible Research Section of
the Chemical Division of Proctor & Gamble. His work there centered on...
