Charles Goodyear and the Invention of Vulcanized Rubber. None of it would have been possible without Charles Goodyear, who in 1844 -- more than 50 years before the first rubber tires would appear on cars -- patented a process known as vulcanization.
With that clue, he reinvented vulcanized rubber in 1843, four years after Goodyear. By the time Goodyear applied for an English patent he found that Hancock had filed a few weeks earlier. Offered a half-share of the Hancock patent to drop his suit, Goodyear foolishly declined â and lost.
