To assign major credit for the duPom achieve ment to any individual or groups within the entire organ ifat ton would be patently unfair.

But because chemical engineering and chemical engineers have participated so broadly and effec tively throughout all of the affairs of die Organic Chemicals Department of the duPortt company, it; is appropriate that this article should be concerned primarily with that contribution.

But let us here consider these ventures from the practical points of view of the chemical engineer and business man. Unless in dustrial development; can be organized artel carried on at a profit that will assure an eventual return to those who have furnished the capital to make such ventures possible, nothing of lasting value can be achieved. The development of DuPrene is a case in point. Research on synthetic rubber was started in theO Organic Chemical Department of the duPont( company about ten years ago, because the duPont ( management had faith in the ability of its diem- / isos to produce a synthetic rubber that would be at least equal to the natural product, if given suf ficient time and the necessary financial support. This faith they held in spite of the fact that years of intensive research by many of the world's most distinguished chemists had so. far failed to show tbit the chemical laboratory could equal Nature as a rubber producer. Acetylene seemed to be the most desirable raw material because of its reactivity and its potential availability in unlimited quantities. The first step appeared to be to cause two molecules of acetylene to react so as to produce an unsaturated com pound having four carbon atoms in a straight chain, ' This was accomplished but the process proved to be a difficult one and the yields were disappointingly low* At this point die tin Pont chemists learned of the work of FatherJ< A.

Few in dustrial fields have proved more attractive for oiganic chemical research. Raw material has al ways been available in abundante. The largest market in the world ior diet finished prodisct is within our borders. The only soiuct: of supply ol the natural product is the island ol Formosa. It is tint sin prising, duaelnre, dun therm should have been a numbei of attempts to >ynthesi/e camphor in this country. The surprise h shat it lias not hixm chine successfully prior to the dul'ont addevemem. As much as .`Ihpooo.ooo had probably been spent by var ious Anita kau companies in researc h and large scale development on synthetic camphor prior to the building of the piesent plant. Euro pean processes have been tried out in this coun try, hut c v j ilima success, presumably betau.se lhey evert: dependent upon a large amount of labor and manna! control. Jlie fundamental chemistrv of synthetic camphor from pinene had been fairly well winked mil over she past three decades, hut again the problem lay in it mishit mg laboratory pnxesses into uiamiiac luring methods adapted to American conditions. In H)itt and itjiio, at a lime when the prior ol natural camphor had risen from .jo cents to a pomul, the duFont tompany was cm on?aged to en ter the mmiithu I uro id a syndic!it ptoihit i. A plant was huilI at the Deepwater (N. j.) dye works to ap ply a protess not greatly dillemn horn that used tot I ay. As first woiketl out, that protess had some si inn comings both in the high tost of operation and the inipiue ouality of finished prodm Is. These might well have been user come, however, Imt the pi he of imported natural camphoi tell from Sm-jh a pound in 11*20 to $*rr,y in uji! i so that the im mediate mamdari m irg eltm t was abandoned, Bui in iigft, with (lie aujiiisiliou of the diemical in teiesis ol the Newport (Company, fame an oppor* i unity to reappraise the sit mil ion bet ause the chemists and < hemic d engineers of that group had worked out an improved process that prone tsed much greater uonmny of opera!ion and at the same time gave a prodnu of excellent purity. So in 195a, again in the trough of the depression, and in spite of the fact that by this dine the price of crude camphor had been reduced to $0,985, it was decided to go ahead with the construction of 11 large new plant at Deepwater, N.J. When coni" plcied, and in successful operation early in 11134* this new plant had ait annual capacity of 1 ,500,000 pounds, American synthetic'camphor is'a highly"refined product, definitely superior to the synthetic; mate rial imported from abroad. The extent to which it lias been accepted by American industry and ii replacing the natural camphor in the 'manu facture of pyroxylin plastics, films, and safety glass, is now 1 matter of official record in Washington. .

There was a time when a rubber doll just couldn't take it but today rubber dolls (and other rubber things from tires to hot water bodies) are made more sturdy and stout-hearted by chemicals developed by chemists of I he rubber industry, aided by J)u Pont research.
