Inventions whose working principle is a chemical reaction or chemical process. Belongs here: gunpowder and dynamite as explosive chemical compounds, the match and the lighter as controlled-combustion ignition devices, and papermaking as a chemical pulping and fiber-bonding process. Does not belong here: devices that merely contain or apply a chemical substance mechanically without the invention itself being the chemical process, grouped under Mechanical Engineering.
