The paper clip shows the property of ductility, which is the ability of a material to be stretched or bent into different shapes without breaking.
The first patent for a paperclip goes to the American Samuel B. Fay in 1867. However, Fay's design and the similar designs of 50 other patents before the turn of the century are not considered similar enough to our modern paperclips, to count as true 'origins'.
In 1899, Vaaler designed his own version of a paper clip to address the same problem of binding papers without damaging them. He filed a patent for his design in Germany in 1899 and later in the United States in 1901 (US Patent 675,761).
Most paper clips are made of mild steel, useful for low voltage, they have a high resistance compared to, say copper. However, they are sturdy, easily available and conductive.
Physical properties of paper sheets are determined by basis weight, thickness, density, two-sidedness, smoothness, permeability, handle, rigidity, roughness, and porosity, which in turn affect sheet properties of softness, hardness, compressibility, dimensional stability, curl, and strength (Casey 1980; Bolam 1962).
The high surface tension helps the paper clip - with much higher density - float on the water. The cohesive forces between liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon known as surface tension.
This means that the metals can deform under an amount of stress. For example, if you can hit a metal with a mallet and it deforms, it is malleable. Also, a paperclip can be shaped with bare hands. In contrast a toothpick is not malleable and would snap if you applied a stress to it.

History. ing to the Early Office Museum, the first patent for a bent wire paper clip was awarded in the United States to Samuel B. Fay in 1867. This clip was originally intended primarily for attaching tickets to fabric, although the patent recognized that it could be used to attach papers together.
India holds the top rank globally in the domestic market scale indicator of the index. The Survey states that the number of patents granted increased seventeen-fold from 5,978 in 2014-15 to 1,03,057 in 2023-24. The Survey also highlights that registered designs rose from 7,147 in 2014-15 to 30,672 in 2023-24.
