| 1 | Preparing a monomer for polymerization study | 1955 | E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator) |
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 zero and must be cooled to keep it in liquid form. This causes the frost or ice formation on the tubes in the picture. The coolant is a mixture of dry ice and acetone. |
