In 1839 Charles Goodyear invented vulcanization, a process that forms molecular cross-linkages between polymer chains in rubber. The result is rubber that is stronger, more elastic, and much more resistance to hot and cold temperatures.
Did the pioneers head to the Eden of their dreams with rubber on the wheels of their prairie schooners crossing the plains?Go have a schooner and think about it
