Early life and education

edit

Hubertina "Tina" Clayton was from Trenton, New Jersey, the daughter of Joseph Aloysius Clayton and Elsie Papendick Clayton (later Dietrich). Her father was a World War I veteran. She was named for her paternal grandmother, Hubertina Brandt Clayton, who lived with her family.[1] She graduated from Trenton Cathedral High School in Trenton in 1943,[2] and from Seton Hill University in 1947.[3][4] She pursued further studies in biochemistry at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia,[3][4] and in textile chemistry at Lowell Technological Institute.[5] Her master's thesis was titled "The relationship between hydrogen ion concentration and a water-oil repellent fluorochemical finish" (1973).[6]

Career

edit

From 1952 into the 1970s,[7] Hogan was a research chemist at the Army's Clothing, Equipment, and Materials Engineering Laboratory in Natick, Massachusetts.[8] Her research involved textiles and their properties of repelling or absorbing environmental hazards in combat settings.[9] She "developed the analytical method for determining chrome content of feathers and down."[10] She was a member of the American Leather Chemists Association beginning in 1955.[11]

Publications

edit

Professional publications by Hogan included articles in Textile Research Journal,[12] Journal of the American Leather Chemists Association,[13][14] and Analytical Chemistry.[15]

  • "A Rapid Sole Leather Tannage with Aldehydes" (1958, with Ludwig Seligsberger and C.W. Mann)[13]
  • "The Actions of Acrylonitrile and Acrylamide upon Collagen" (1958, with L. Seligsberger)[14]
  • "Observations on the Tanning Action of Synthetic Polyphenols" (1963, with L. Seligsberger)[16]
  • "Determination of bis (2-chloroethyl) sulfide in a Dawson apparatus by gas chromatography" (1972, with R. L. Erickson, R. N. MacNair and R. H. Brown)[15]
  • Feasibility Study to Determine the Fluorine Content in Quarpel-treated Fabrics by Analysis with a 14 MeV Neutron Activation Source (1972, with Forest C. Burns and Gil M. Dias)[9]
  • "Sorptive Textile Systems Containing Activated Carbon Fibers" (1974, with Gilbert N. Arons, Richard N. MacNair, and Laurance G. Coffin)[12]

Personal life

edit

Clayton married John Daniel Hogan in 1967, in Massachusetts; her husband died in 1973. She lived with her mother in Jobstown, New Jersey in the 1980s. She died in Cumming, Georgia, in 2017, aged 92 years.[17]
