How a Broken Thermometer Changed Medicine Forever
In 1938, a DuPont chemist named Roy J. Plunkett made one of the greatest accidental discoveries in science.
While working with refrigerant gases, a broken thermometer and a sealed gas cylinder led him to find a mysterious white solid — PTFE, later known as Teflon.
What began as a lab failure became a global medical breakthrough.
Teflon’s unique, non-reactive and heat-resistant properties soon transformed heart valves, prosthetics, and surgical implants, saving millions of lives.
📜 All facts verified from DuPont archives, U.S. Patent 2,230,654 (1941), and scientific records of Roy J. Plunkett’s experiments.
