Synthetic rubbers aims to emulate some of the features of natural rubber and compensate for some of its limitations.
Styrene butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber both buna rubbers are commonly used for tire manufacture.
Synthetic rubber technology started in 1879 when gustave bouchardat found that heating isoprene with hydrochloric acid produced a rubberlike polymer.

The origins of the elastomers forming the base of synthetic rubber can be traced to the first half of the 19th century when attempts were made to elucidate the composition and structure of natural rubber with the eventual goal of reproducing the material.
The expanded use of motor vehicles and particularly motor vehicle tires starting in th e1890 s created increased demand for rubber.
The different types of synthetic rubber include neoprene buna rubbers and butyl rubbers and they are usually developed with specific properties for specialist applications.
History of synthetic rubber.
Synthetic rubbers like natural rubbers can be toughened by vulcanization and improved and modified for special purposes by reinforcement with other materials.
Neoprene finds its way into many of the products we rely on every day.
