Best Answer

The modern polymers and plastics industry started in earnest during the 2nd World War. Synthetic rubber was needed for tires and the allies could not get material from the Malysian rubber plantations due to the Axis blockade etc. The first FULLY synthetic polymer was manufactured in 1907. It cna be argued that work on modifying existing polymers (hence partially synthetic) started in the early 1800s
