Strong chemurgic movement initiated credited with nearly 200 industrial uses during its ten-year existence. Ford Motor Company uses significant amounts of soybean oil for enamel paint, glycerin for shock absorbers, in 1937 automobiles. 

Patents for preparing semi-plastic materials from soy protein were first issued in France (Contant Perrot, 1913) and Great Britain (Dodd Humphries, 1913), although S. Satow s U.S. patent of 1919 is credited with first stimulating widespread interest in soy protein plastics. Johnson and Myers (1995) provide a complete historical review on soybean plastics. No discussion of soy protein plastics is complete without at least mentioning the early research and commercialization efforts of H. Ford and the Edison Institute (Fig. 17.2). The Ford Motor Co. and the Edison Institute, headed by R. Boyer, were responsible for extensive protein plastic research, patents, and commercial applications in the late 1930s and 1940s.
