Carleton Ellis : ウィキペディア英語版 | Carleton Ellis Carleton Ellis (September 20, 1876 – January 13, 1941) was an American inventor and a pioneer in the field of organic chemistry. He is the forgotten father of margarine, polyester, anti-knock gasoline, paint and varnish remover, and holder of 753 patents.〔B. Zorina Khan, ''The Democratization of Invention: Patents and Copyrights in American Economic Development, 1790-1920'' (Cambridge University Press, 2005) pp209-210〕 A native of Keene, New Hampshire, he was the valedictorian of his high school class, and later a graduate of MIT. He then set up the Ellis Laboratories in Montclair, New Jersey. ==Contributions== Ellis's contributions were in the improvement of existing technology, and they were significant. He developed gasoline that reduced engine knock, longer lasting housepaint, more durable polyesters and plastics, improved printing inks, methods for flameless combustion, methods for hydroponics for plant growth without soil, and a healthier and more palatable version of margarine. Prior to 1913, there were substitutes for butter that had been made from animal fats that had high grease content and was often hard to digest. Ellis found a way to synthesize margarine from vegetable oils, and it is said that he helped create what is now a multibillion-dollar industry.〔http://www.hsccnh.org, Historical Society of Cheshire County, website, retrieved September 1, 2007〕 Ellis was the author of ''The Hydrogenation of Oils'' in ''Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry'' (1912) and a 1920 book of the same name.
