Question

where and by whom was the rubber found?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Uses of rubber date all the way back to the 1600’s when the Mesoamericans used it for small things such as balls for entertainment, and a type of temporary rubber shoe that was made by dipping their feet into a latex mixture. However, the year that is better known for the discovery of rubber is 1735 when the French scientist Charles de la Condamine discovered it during an expedition to Peru. After he discovered it he sent back the remarkable new rubber samples to the Académie Royale des Sciences in France. He spent the next ten years exploring Peru and the rest of the Amazon. In 1745, he returned to Paris and in 1751 Charles's ''Journal du voyage fait par ordre du roi'' was published with all his adventures and discoveries from Peru which included the uses, properties, and importance of his newly found substance of rubber. Condamine’s paper is known as the first scientific paper on rubber. Rubber got its name, rubber, in 1770 when in England a man named Joseph Priestly discovered it could be used to rub off pencil marks on paper. The reconization for the many uses of the newly discovored commodity exploded from a great number of scientists and inventors who began discovoring new ways to utilize the material, and improving ways of production of the rubber. South America was a major source of the rubber that was used in much of the 19th century. Rubber soon spread all over the world ,starting its large spread with a man named Henry Wickham when he gathered the seeds from the rubber producing trees in Brazil and germinated them in England. The seeds germinated in England were then traded and exported all over the world to places like India, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia. During this time Congo, Africa was also a large producer of the trees used to make rubber therefore made them large producers of the rubber as well. Once the value of the commodity was apparent, the world became

hungry with greed and desire for the chance to export and make profit from it. This development of the rubber-growing industry has not been without drawbacks. Overproduction had seriously affected the industry financially by 1950, and many attempts have been made to regulate its supply. The quick realization of the economical importance of rubber resulted in suffering of a lot of the world’s economies. This downfall was due to the reality of production becoming an unhealthy monster of a desire, and because the vulcanization of rubber changed the way the world preferred and produced the commodity.
