Charles Goodyear invented the process of vulcanisation of rubber.Before the mid-19th century, natural or India rubber was limited in its usefulness because it melted in hot weather, froze and cracked in cold weather, and tended to stick to virtually everything. Charles Goodyear was a businessman who experimented with the properties of gum elastic. He accidentally discovered the process of vulcanisation of rubber when he dropped some rubber mixed with sulfur on a hot stove. Goodyear missed out on the financial benefits of his invention as Englishman Thomas Hancock copied his idea and attained a British patent for the process before Goodyear applied for a British patent. However, vulcanised rubber was later was made into tyres emblazoned with Goodyear's name.
