Plunkett, Roy J. (1910–94) chemist, inventor; born in New Carlisle, Ohio. In 1938, after only two years as a research chemist for E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., he discovered Teflon, a breakthrough that led to many new fluorochemical products now widely used in the electronics, plastics, and aerospace industries. He remained an effective manager of research, development and production for du Pont until he retired in 1975. |
