Hill, Julian

E.W. Spanagel, Howard Starkweather, Frank van Natta, and Julian Hill. Julian Hill worked extensively with Carothers and the two enjoyed a number of joint ventures, among which was the industrially important process of cold drawing. 

Although Carothers was transparent and innocently open about his insecurities and mental health, many of his young colleagues stood in awe of him. Thus, when Carothers showed Julian Hill his capsule of cyanide, Hill interpreted it as bravado. More ominously, Carothers could list the famous scientists who had committed suicide. 

Du Pont gave Carothers a leave of absence, but Carothers misinterpreted their motives. They practically packed him in cotton, Julian Hill said later. He thought they were trying to ease him out. Of all things. This was about at the all time high in misinterpretation, I would think. When they gave him the health leave, he thought this was just the first step. ... 

So one summer, I took off in my car with a tape recorder to pursue them all. It was sort of an impulse, encouraged by Julian Hill, Strange said. I didn t want Wallace Carothers to just die. I wanted him to have a life. ...

The discovery of nylon is one example. In 1928, E.l. DuPont de Nemours and Company appointed a young, 32-year-old chemist from Harvard, Wallace Carothers, as the director of its new research center. The goal was to create artificial fibers similar to cellulose and silk. In 1930, Julian Hill, a member of Carothers team, dipped a hot glass rod in a mixture of solutions and unexpectedly pulled out long fibers such as the one shown in Figure 1-14. Carothers pursued the development of these fibers as a synthetic silk that could withstand high temperatures and eventually developed nylon in 1934. Nylon s first use was in a toothbrush with nylon bristles. During World War 11, nylon was used as a replacement for silk in parachutes. Nylon is used extensively today in textiles and some kinds of plastics.
