vbloom - I'm not sure how many 'experts' we have on popping corn, but a good starting place is a simple internet query of 'what makes corn pop'? That's often where the 'experts' at Science Buddies begin. That question will give you plenty of references to start your gathering of information.

Agreed, I find "how stuff works" and such sources to be especially helpful.
