Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and the Chemistry of Fireproofing
Before homes were electrified, there was a very real danger of clothing catching on fire from the lamps and cooking fires used in daily life. As the study of chemistry became more rigorous, scientists began to think about how to use their knowledge to protect people from this hazard.
The person who first delved systematically into solving this problem was Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac, a 19th-century French polymath. Gay-Lussac was a giant in the history of chemistry, perhaps best known for his work in understanding the properties of gasses.
