Celluloid is derived from cellulose and alcoholized camphor. John Wesley Hyatt invented celluloid as a substitute for the ivory in billiard balls in 1868. Besides billiard balls, celluloid became famous as the first flexible photographic film used for still photography and motion pictures. Without J.W. Hyatt's invention of the Plastic Celluloid we would not have alot of things we use on a daily basis.
