One year after Fawcett s unauthorized statement, the ICl process for polymerizing ethylene to (technically useful) solid polymers was formally disclosed in British Patent 471590 (applied 4 Febmary 1936, allowed 6 Sept. 1937) and the related US Patent 2153553 (Polymerization of olefins, PubUcalion date 11 April, 1939 Priority date 4 Feb, 1936 Fawcett Eric William, Gibson Reginald Oswald, Perrin Michael Willcox, ICl Fimited). [Pg.17]

British chemists Reginald Gibson and Eric Fawcett accidentally re-discover polyethylene, which was first discovered in 1889. [Pg.962]

It all started with a chance observation on 27 March 1933, by Eric William Fawcett and Reginald Oswald Gibson of ICI Research in Winnington, Cheshire, England, who were investigating the effects of very high pressures—above 1000 atmospheres—on chemical reactions [8]. They had started an experiment on Friday 24 March, to react ethylene and benzaldehyde (one of 50 reactions suggested by Sir Robert Robinson, consultant to ICI, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1947) at 170 °C and a pressure of 1900 atmospheres. On Monday 27 March, 1933, the reactor bomb ... [Pg.15]

Hans von Pechmann, was heating a substance called diazomethane under pressure. His assistants formd a white, waxy substance in the reaction vessel. They were able to find out that it was made of chains containing -CH2-. At that time, no one knew how to capitalise on the discovery. In 1933, two British chemists, Eric Fawcett and Reginald Gibson, working at ICI (Imperial Chemical... [Pg.315]
