The Struggles of Charles Goodyear

Mar 15, 2020

Time and time again, we see the old adage of “if at first you don't succeed, try and try again.” Today's story brings that to like once again. Today, we look at the story of Charles Goodyear, the man credited with discovering how to vulcanize rubber. We see and use vulcanized rubber everyday when we drive our cars. If you didn't know, tires are made of vulcanized rubber, as well as a few other things that we use on regular basis.
