Bhain sé BA amach sa cheimic in Ollscoil Mhanchain i 1932. Fuair sé a Ph.D. sa cheimic i 1936 ó Ollscoil Stáit Ohio as a chuid oibre ar ''The Mechanism of Carbohydrate Oxidation.'' <ref>Plunkett, RJ; Evans, WL JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY 60 1938 2847-2852 DOI: 10.1021/ja01279a007</ref> ). <ref name="invent2007">{{Lua idirlín|url=http://www.invent.org/hall_of_fame/121.html|year=2007|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080117143105/http://www.invent.org/hall_of_fame/121.html|archivedate=2008-01-17}}</ref>

Is fearr a thuairiscítear ar fhionnachtain Teflon i bhfocail Plunkett féin: <ref>Plunkett, RJ ''The History of Polytetrafluoroethylene: Discovery and Development'', pages 261-266 in "High Performance Polymers: Their Origin and Development. Proceedings of the Symposium on the History of High Performance Polymers at the American Chemical Society Meeting held in New York, April 15–18, 1986." Seymour RB and Kirshenbaum GS, Editors, Elsevier, New York, 1986. {{ISBN|0-444-01139-0}}</ref><blockquote>On the morning of April 6, 1938, Jack Rebok, my assistant, selected one of the TFE cylinders that we had been using the previous day and set up the apparatus ready to go. When he opened the valve — to let the TFE gas flow under its own pressure from the cylinder — nothing happened...We were in a quandary. I couldn't think of anything else to do under the circumstances, so we unscrewed the valve from the cylinder. By this time it was pretty clear that there wasn't any gas left. I carefully tipped the cylinder upside down, and out came a whitish powder down onto the lab bench. We scraped around some with the wire inside the cylinder...to get some more of the powder. What I got out that way certainly didn't add up, so I knew there must be more, inside. Finally...we decided to cut open the cylinder. When we did, we found more of the powder packed onto the bottom and lower sides of the cylinder.</blockquote>Deir Plunkett freisin go raibh thart ar 1 kg an ceann (2.2 punt) sna sorcóirí TFE a bhí in úsáid a bheadh ​​réasúnta beag, sorcóirí de mhéid buidéal léachta, seachas sorcóirí móra.
