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 Re...
