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).
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.

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.
The paper clips are made of steel, which is ferromagnetic because it contains iron. As we discussed in the Magnetic Surprises activity, ferromagnetic materials aren't permanent magnets on their own, the way the neodymium magnet is, but they can be magnetized by a strong magnetic field.
