The authors recount how the synthetic rubber industry was created
virtually overnight following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. They
examine early attempts to extend natural rubber reserves. The rest
of the story is that of the full scale effort by government,
industry, and academia to develop a viable alternative to natural
rubber within a short time and on an economically sound basis. The
authors also provide an account of what has happened to the
synthetic rubber industry between the end of the war and 1980,
identify some lessons that can be learned from the synthetic rubber
experience for government-industry programs, and draw parallels
between the rubber dependency of the 1940s and the energy
dependency of the 1980s.
