Best Answer

Vulcanazation (the adding of hot sulpher to rubber to make it durable) was either developed or stumbled upon (depending on who you believe!) by Charles Goodyear in the USA. The process was developed simultaniously by Thomas Hancock in the UK - in fact, Hancock patented the process in the UK a few weeks before Goodyear patented the process in the US.
