The DuPont Company was a chemical company which began with the production of gunpowder. Lammot du Pont invented B blasting powder, using Chilean sodium nitrate instead of the previously used potassium nitrate (saltpeter) from India. In 1879, he resigned from the DuPont Company and formed the Repauno Chemical Company to manufacture high explosives. Lammot du Pont married Mary Belin du Pont (1839-1913) in 1865. The couple had eleven children. The family moved from the Brandywine to Philadelphia and lived at 3500 Powelton Avenue. Lammot du Pont died in an explosion on March 29, 1884. In 1892, Mary Belin du Pont had a family home built called Saint Amour in Wilmington, Delaware. - Page 3- S. Hallock du Pont collection of du Pont family photographs 1975.280 S.

  • Brandywine River Dam Removal Field Recon Report, December 2015
    Restoration of American Shad to the Brandywine River Draft Dec 2015 University of Delaware Water Resource Center Newark, Del. 0 Summary This letter report updates the 2005 American shad restoration along the Brandywine River report prepared by the Brandywine Conservancy. American shad {Alosa sapidisimmd) were once an abundant migratory fish found throughout East Coast rivers and streams of North America, including the Brandywine River in Delaware and Pennsylvania. Shad were an important part of Native American and early colonial diets, and later, were the basis of an important commercial fishery in larger rivers like the Susquehanna and Delaware. Spring runs of shad comprised a unique and dramatic natural phenomenon, now a lost part o f our cultural heritage. Shad restoration efforts are underway in numerous rivers and streams along the East Coast. A 1985 study titled A Review and Recommendations Relating to Fishways Within the Delaware Basin commissioned by the Delaware Basin Fish and Wildlife Management Cooperative identified three tributaries historically used by shad for spawning which had “the greatest potential for restoration of the American shad.” These include the Lehigh, the Schuylkill, and the Brandywine Rivers. The following is a report on the current state of dams along the Brandywine River. Restoring shad to the Brandywine River has important economic, ecological, and cultural benefits for the Brandywine Valley region generally and the Wilmington area specifically. The following is a summary table on the 11 dams on the Brandywine River, a map highlighting the dams and relevant landmarks, a report detailing each dam, along with photographs of the dams in their current state during the fall of 2015.

  • (A) Polytetrafluoroethylene: Dupont's Teflon Rod. (B) Silver Chloride: 99.992 Per Cent Minimum Purity, Reagent
    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.
