Title: Julian Hill recreating synthesis of first completely synthetic fiber
Date(s): 1941
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: Probably the most dramatic moment in DuPont research history is re-enacted above-the birth of the first completely synthetic fiber, impractical for commercial use but true forerunner of nylon itself. Here chemist Julian Hill shows how he pulled molten sample of material from a laboratory test tube at the company's Experimental Station near Wilmington, Delaware. The molasses-like mass stuck to the glass stirring rod and was drawn out into a thin fiber.
