Things that use rubber (and also synthetic rubber) include:
tires, erasers, rubber bands, seals, gaskets, rollers, machine belts, cushioning pads, electrical insulation, bouncing balls, sports balls, and tool grips.
Tires for the war machine got first priority.
Charles Goodyear is known for inventing the vulcanization of rubber.
Sulfur
Charles Goodyear cool right :)
Natural rubber, or gum rubber, is made from latex. A LOT of rubber available today is synthetic, made from petroleum. And a large amount of the gum rubber contains a percentage of synthetic rubber.
Difference Between Natural Rubber And Vulcanized RubberNatural rubber Vulcanized rubber(1) Natural rubber is soft and sticky Vulcanized rubber is hard and non-sticky. (2) It has low tensile strength. It has high tensile strength. (3) It has low elasticity. It has high elasticity. (4) It can be used over a narrow range of temperature (from 10° to 60°C). It can be used over a wide range of temperature (–40° to 100°C). (5) It has low wear and tear resistance. It has high wear and tear resistance. (6) It is soluble in solvents like ether, carbon, tetrachloride, petrol, etc. It is insoluble in all the common solvents.
vulcanized rubber affects us today because it is used in tires and in shoe soles
A vast array of products are made with vulcanized rubber including tires, shoe soles, hoses, and hockey pucks.
Vulcanized rubber has disulfide crosslinks and is hard and strong.Natural rubber has no crosslinks and is soft and weak.
Vulcanized Rubber can cost anywhere from one dollar to twenty dollars by the sheet. There are also vulcanized rubber molds you can purchase that range around twenty five dollars.

Fairly inert but can be attacked by gasoline. Can be vulcanized by treating with sulfur.
