		Carothers was attracted to the opportunity to do fundamental research and was pleased with his budget for supplies and equipment.
		Carothers also missed the polymerization of a single amino compound, caprolactam, which was used to produce nylon 6 by Paul Schlack at IG Farben in Germany in the late 1930s.
		Carothers' career was extrordinarily productive, but mental illness was a heavy cloud hanging over his brilliant research.

	1928: Wallace Carothers
		Wallace Hume Carothers (1896-1937) spearheaded DuPont's first decade of basic organic chemistry research.
		Carothers was lured from Harvard to DuPont in 1927 with the promise that he could pursue basic research, specifically looking at polymers – molecules with long, repeating chain structures.
		In one remarkable month, April 1930, Carothers’ team discovered neoprene synthetic rubber and synthesized the first polyester superpolymer, the forerunner of nylon.

		DuPont researchers, led by Dr. Wallace H. Carothers, first invented the nylon 66 polymer in the 1930s.
		Wallace Carothers was 32 years old when he was appointed director of Du Pont Corporation's research center.
		He made major contributions to the understanding of their structure and of polymerization, how these long chain molecules form.NylonNylons are one of the most common polymers used as a fiber.

		Carothers was called to DuPont to carry out fundamental research, and in the course of his basic research began a systematic study of the reaction of polyacids and polyols.
		Carothers compared this to another way of forming polymers, such as polystyrene, in which the monomer is converted directly to polymer without the evolution of a byproduct.
		As a result of his research on functionality and gel concepts, he was able to classify polymers as addition and condensation, depending on the way these polymers are formed.

		Stine encouraged Carothers to study the chemistry of large molecules, or polymers, which were the subject of considerable scientific controversy in Europe but of very little actual research anywhere.
		Instead of studying cellulose itself to determine its structure, Carothers proposed the novel idea of building synthetic polymers that would be of known composition and structure.
		It was an accepted belief within the company that the Carothers phenomena could be repeated many times: exploring new areas of science would lead to "new nylons." The opportunities present in science were regarded as so great that DuPont could risk giving away some valuable information in scientific publications.

		DUPONT AND CAROTHERS (1934–1938) Flory was offered a position at DuPont during the height of the depression, when very few jobs were available in either industry or the academic world.
		When this work was started, it was commonly supposed that the normal reactivity of a given kind of functional group would be suppressed if it were on a large molecule: Mere size per se was considered to impart a sluggishness that would bar unlimited chain growth.
		Carothers had correctly concluded that this state indicated infinite molecular weight, with the chains forming a giant network; but he calculated from simple stoichiometry the number average molecular weight as the appropriate signal.

	The Sexyloops' Fly Fishing Glossary - Nylon
		Invented by accident in the late 1920's by Wallace H. Carothers whilst researching pioneering work into giant molecules for the Dupont Corp., Nylon was the first totally synthetic textile fibre.
		Wallace and Dupont shot to fame over night when the product was first commercialised in the late 1930's when used in ladies stockings.
		Wallace also went on to invent other famous products such as Neoprene in the 1930.

		Carothers used well-developed methods for putting together low molecular weight organic molecules to synthesize first aliphatic polyesters and then aliphatic polyamides.
		A decade later, John H. Northrop, working with crystalline pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin, made the case even more solidly by showing that the protein content of these three digestive enzymes correlated directly with their catalytic activity.
		H became available for investigating biochemical pathways, ushering in what medical historian Frederic L. Holmes calls "the golden age of laying down all the metabolic pathways.

		SCIENTIFIC WORK (BY WALTER H. Commencing in 1934 Flory dealt with most of the major problems in the physical chemistry of polymeric substances, among them the kinetics and mechanism of polymerization, molar mass distribution, solution thermodynamics and hydrodynamics, melt viscosity, glass formation, crystallization, chain conformation, rubberlike elasticity, and liquid crystals.
		He was especially fortunate in being assigned to work directly under the great Wallace H. Carothers, whose contributions to a firm grounding of the macromolecular concept rivaled those of Hermann Staudinger.
		One example of this type was already a well-known commercial product, glyptal (made from glycerol and phthalic anhydride), and it was well known that such systems attain a state of zero fluidity (the gel point) at a stage well short of complete reaction.

		Carothers was born an only child in Iowa, in 1896.
		He tells of Carothers's "personal warmth," his "generosity of spirit," and his "sense of humor." But he also says that Carothers suffered mounting manic-depressive mood swings.
		During nine years at Du Pont, Carothers finished his 62nd technical paper and filed his 69th patent.

		There it was my good fortune to be assigned to the small group headed by Dr. Wallace H. Carothers, inventor of nylon and neoprene, and a scientist of extraordinary breadth and originality.
		A year after the untimely death of Carothers, in 1937, I joined the Basic Science Research Laboratory of the University of Cincinnati for a period of two years.
		With the outbreak of World War II and the urgency of research and development on synthetic rubber, supply of which was imperiled, I returned to industry, first at the Esso (now Exxon) Laboratories of the Standard Oil Development Company (1940-43) and later at the Research Laboratory of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company (1943-48).
