Teflon was invented completely by accident. Dr. Roy Plunkett was trying to make a better coolant gas in refrigerators for DuPont. He left a batch of gas overnight and observed that it had polymerized very rapidly. It left behind a slippery wax-like solid with exceptional properties. Now, Teflon is used as a coating over non-stick pans & for dentistry.
