Biographical History
James Burton Nichols was born on February 25, 1902 at Danbury, Conn. He did his undergraduate work at Cornell University and received a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin in colloid chemistry in 1927. His first project was to construct an ultracentrifuge for the Du Pont Company's fundamental research program. Nichols then began to study the particle sizes of Du Pont's pigments and the relationship between particle size and pigment properties. Charles Stine, the Director of the Fundamental Research Program, assigned Nichols to the Colloid group where he worked on the neoprene and synthetic polymer projects. During World War II, Nichols headed the physics section of the Chemical Department, where he worked on projects involving polymers (cellophane and nylon) and subatomic particles. Nichols retired from Du Pont in 1967 and died near Wilmington on September 15, 1995.
Born in Danbury Connecticut on 25 February 1902. Died on 14 July 1995. Education: B.S., Chemistry, Cornell University (1923), M.S., Chemistry, University of Wisconsin (1924), Ph.D., Physical Chemistry, University of Wisconsin (1927). Employment: 1927-1966 E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Inc.
