Gérard Bérchet (1902-1990) was a French-American chemist noted for his contributions to materials science, particularly in the synthesis of nylon and neoprene. Working under Wallace Carothers at DuPont, he first synthesized nylon 6 in 1935. Although Bérchet was the first to synthesize neoprene, he was not credited with its discovery due to timing issues. Nylon has broad applications in various industries, while neoprene is used for its insulating properties in products like electrical equipment and automotive components.
