    2001 ANNUAL REPORT DuPont at 200 In 2002, DuPont celebrates its 200th anniversary. The company that began as a small, family firm on the banks of Delaware’s Brandywine River is today a global enterprise operating in 70 countries around the world. From a manufacturer of one main product – black powder for guns and blasting – DuPont grew through a remarkable series of scientific leaps into a supplier of some of the world’s most advanced materials, services and technologies. Much of what we take for granted in the look, feel, and utility of modern life was brought to the marketplace as a result of DuPont discoveries, the genius of DuPont scientists and engineers, and the hard work of DuPont employees in plants and offices, year in and year out. Along the way, there have been some exceptional constants. The company’s core values of safety, health and the environment, ethics, and respect for people have evolved to meet the challenges and opportunities of each era, but as they are lived today they would be easily recognizable to our founder. The central role of science as the means for gaining competitive advantage and creating value for customers and shareholders has been consistent. It would be familiar to any employee plucked at random from any decade of the company’s existence. Yet nothing has contributed more to the success of DuPont than its ability to transform itself in order to grow. Whether moving into high explosives in the latter 19th century, into chemicals and polymers in the 20th century, or into biotechnology and other integrated sciences today, DuPont has always embraced change as a means to grow.

    THE MELTING AND PYROLYSIS OF TEFLON AND THE MELTING OF SILVER CHLORIDE AND IODINE UNDER HIGH PRESSURE* BY 1IMASAAKI TAMAYAMA, TERRELL N. ANDERSEN, AND HENRY EYRING INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF RATE PROCESSES, UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, SALT LAKE CITY Communicated January 9, 1967 The melting temperatures have been determined for a wide range of substances as a function of pressure. In the present work, Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) was investigated up to 30 kb and the decomposition temperatures, and the melting temperatures of silver chloride and iodine were determined up to 30 kb and 20 kb, respectively. General Technique. -The pressure was generated with a piston-cylinder type press, the details of which can be found elsewhere.'-3 A typical high-pressure furnace is shown in Figure 1. The temperature of the sample was varied by means of an electrical resistance graphite heater placed in the high-pressure furnace. Electricity was applied to the heater at a constant rate. Two Alumel-Chromel thermocouples were set in the furnace, one for measuring the temperature of the sample and the other to be used in making a differential thermal analysis (DTA). The slight change of electromotive force of the thermocouples due to pressure4 was not cor- rected for in the present work. The high-pressure furnace used in the present work consisted of materials such as talc, pyrophyllite, graphite, and Teflon, which served as solid pressure transmitting media. The calculated pressure at the bottom of the moving piston is not trans- mitted unchanged through such highly viscous pressure transmitters as are used in our high-pressure furnace.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1983 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. ELMER KEISER BOLTON June 23, 1886-Jidy 30, 1968 BY ROBERT M. JOYCE LMER KEISER BOLTON was one of the outstanding leaders E of industrial research. He became an industrial re- search director at a time when research was only beginning to be a significant factor in the chemical industry. There were no models for this new role, and Bolton's concepts of direct- ing industrial research were in large measure those that he formulated himself, reflecting his vision and drive to achieve important commercial goals. The record of industrial products developed by Du Pont research organizations that he directed is impressive; it in- cludes synthetic dyes and intermediates, flotation chemicals, rubber chemicals, neoprene synthetic rubber, nylon synthetic fiber, and Teflon® polytetrafluoroethylene resin. His leader- ship in bringing these developments to fruition was always apparent to management and to those he directed, but be- cause of his characteristic self-effacement his name is not widely associated with these accomplishments. Throughout his career he supported and encouraged his technical person- nel. Most important, he had the knack of picking the right time and direction to take in moving a research lead into development. Many of his decisions proved crucial to the ultimate success of these ventures.

    xB RS 4.0 is out and looks to be a hit with our customers. We have noticed some chatter on the web regarding the special Torched Penny paint and its repairability. I wanted to provide you with some first hand information and dispel some of the rumors. • Yes, the paint does cost more than normal paint Why = It is due to the special color changing characteristics (high pigmentation) of the paint • No, you do not need to re-paint the whole car if you get into an accident or get a scratch. Why = Due to the color changing paint it is actually easier to blend and match than traditional paints (its harder to see the painting mistakes). Spot painting instructions are attached. • No, the color is not difficult to match Why = Due to the color changing paint it is actually easier to blend and match than traditional paints (it’s harder to see the painting mistakes). • Yes, there are paint companies offering this paint for repairs. I am pleased to announce that all of the paint companies listed below have successfully achieved color matches for the Scion xB 3R2 "Torched Penny" color. • PPG - 10/6/06 - completed with successful color match • BASF - 9/4/06 - completed with successful color match • Sherwin Williams - 10/17/06 - completed with successful color match • DuPont - 11/10/06 - completed with successful color match • Akzo Nobel - 11/09/06 - completed with successful color match See attached paint repair application guide that was produced by Nippon Paint, the manufacturer of Maziora.
