This book explores the historical advent of corn-based materials in the 19th century, driven by the soaring demand for paper and subsequent shortage of rags. It tells the story of Austrian inventor Chevalier Auer von Welsbach, whose experiments with corn husks led to the discovery of corn fiber as a viable alternative to rags. The author highlights the struggles and successes in developing this new material, which ultimately yielded three valuable products: corn fiber for spinning, corn gluten for nourishment, and corn pulp for papermaking. The book delves into the industrial and agricultural significance of this discovery, emphasizing its potential to create new industries and alleviate the paper shortage.
