Wallace H.Carothers.a brilliant organic chemist who was
principally responsible for the development of nylon
and the first synthetic rubber (Neoprene),was born in 1896
in Burlington,lowa.As a youth,Carothers was fascinated
by tools and mechanical devices and spent many hours
experimenting.In 1915 he entered Tarkio College in Missouri.
Carothers so excelled in chemistry that even before his graduation,
he was made a chemistry instructor.
Carothers eventually moved to the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign,where he was appointed to the faculty
when he completed his Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 1924.
He moved to Harvard University in 1926,and then to DuPont
in 1928 to participate in a new program in fundamental research .
At DuPont,Carothers headed the organic chemistry
division,and during his ten years there played a prominent
role in laying the foundations of polymer chemisty.
By the age of 33,Carothers had become a world-famous
chemist whose advice was sought by almost everyone working
in polymers.He was the first industrial chemist to be
elected to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences.
Carothers was an avid reader of poetry and a lover of
classical music.Unfortunately, he also suffered from severe
bouts of depression that finally led to his suicide in 1937 in
a Philadelphia hotel room, where he drank a cyanide solution.
He was 41 years old. Despite the brevity of his career,
Carothers was truly one of the finest American chemists of
all time. His great intellect, his love of chemistry. and his
insistence on perfection produced his special genius.

Wallace H.Carothers是一個聰明的有機化學家,他主要的成就是開發出尼龍和第一個合成橡膠物質(氯丁橡膠),生於1896年的愛荷華州Burlington。當他還是一個年輕人時,Carothers着迷於工具和機械裝置,總是花上很多的時間進行實驗。在1915年,他進入密蘇里州的Tarkio大學。Carothers即使在大學畢業後仍然熱愛化學,他成爲一個化學老師,Carothers最後轉職到伊利諾州的Urbana-Champaign大學,在1924年得到有機化學博士學位後成為該所大學的教員,在1926年他轉職到哈佛大學,然後於1928年再轉職到杜邦參與基礎研究計劃。在杜邦時,Carothers領導有機化學的研究部門,在10年期間中,在聚合物基礎化學研究上扮演非常重要的角色。到了33歲,Carothers就已成爲全球知名的化學家幾乎成為各個聚合物專家的諮詢對象,他是知名的國家科學研究院所選出的第一個工業化學家院士。Carothers愛讀詩也是古典音樂的愛好者。很不幸的,他的憂鬱症多次發作,最後在1937年於費城的旅館房間中和氰化物自殺身亡,當時他41歲。儘管他的生涯短暫,Carothers永遠都是美國歷史中不折不扣的化學家,他偉大的智慧、他對化學的熱愛以及他對完美的堅持促成了他特別的天才。
