We are all aware of who were the inventors of various polymers, but are you aware of their patent details such as – Name, Abstract, Co-inventors, Application Dates etc. ? Even, I never saw their patent works, until now!
It was really tough to dig down their original patents. I hope you enjoy knowing and reading it!
Check the Patents on some of the following polymers:
- Vulcanization of Rubber: Patented by Charles Goodyear in June 15, 1844
- Celluloid: Patented by John W. Hyatt in March 25, 1869
- Bakelite: Patented by Leo H. Baekeland in July 13, 1907
- Neoprene: Patented by Julius A. Nieuwland in September 13, 1928
- Nylon: Patented by Wallace H. Carothers in January 2, 1935
- Teflon: Patented by Roy J. Plunkett in July 1, 1939
- High Density Polyethylene (HDPE): Patented by John Paul Hogan and Robert L. Banks in March 04, 1958
- Polypropylene: Patented by Giulio Natta and Giorgio Mazzanti in December 3, 1954
