The Heroes of Chemistry is an award given annually by the American Chemical Society.
 It highlights teams responsible for creation of innovative and impactful products based on chemistry and chemical engineering and is intended to show how human welfare is improved by industrial chemical scientists and their companies. William H. Nichols
William Henry Nichols (1852–1930) was an American chemist and businessman.
 He was instrumental in building the chemical supply business in the U.S.
 The specialty materials business of Honeywell traces its roots back a small sulfuric acid company he started in 1870.
 Nichols was one of the original founders of the American Chemical Society, serving as president in 1918 and 1919.
 The New York branch of the society gives a prestigious award every year that is named after him, the William H. Nichols Medal Award.
 He attended New York University. Velsicol Chemical Corporation

Irving Langmuir (January 31, 1881 – August 16, 1957) was an American chemist and physicist.
 His most noted publication was the famous 1919 article "The Arrangement of Electrons in Atoms and Molecules" in which, building on Gilbert N. Lewis's cubical atom theory and Walther Kossel's chemical bonding theory, he outlined his "concentric theory of atomic structure".
 Langmuir became embroiled in a priority dispute with Lewis over this work; Langmuir's presentation skills were largely responsible for the popularization of the theory, although the credit for the theory itself belongs mostly to Lewis.
 While at General Electric from 1909 to 1950, Langmuir advanced several basic fields of physics and chemistry, invented the gas-filled incandescent lamp and the hydrogen welding technique, and was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in surface chemistry.
 The Langmuir Laboratory for Atmospheric Research near Socorro, New Mexico, was named in his honor, as was the American Chemical Society journal for surface science called "Langmuir".
