Who created vulcanization?

That is a way to repair tires, not a tire as such vulcanized rubber was invented by Charles Goodyear if that is what you are asking. The first practical rubber tire was made by John Dunlop.


Why did Charles Goodyear invent the tire?

Charles Goodyear did not invent the tire. Goodyear is credited with the development of vulcanized rubber. Indeed, when he developed vulcanized rubber, its intended use was not for tires. At the time, he trying to develop a stable rubber tube for use in inflating life preservers. In 1888, John Dunlop invented the first air-filled or pneumatic tire. It was used for bicycles. Phillip Strauss invented the first successful tire for the automobile in 1911. It was a combination tire with an air-filled inner tube.


Is tire rubber biodegradable?

No, the rubber in tires is not biodegradable.


What polymers are used in tires?

Kevlar (Aromatic Polyamides) is used in tire reinforcement. Polybutadiene (Butadiene Rubber, BR) is used for the carcass and side wall. Natural rubber is a polymer, and they put polyurethane in tire rubber too. While aramids like kevlar are often used in car and motorcycle tires, nylon (less expensive and works fine) is used in bicycle tires.


Why are tires and tubes made of rubber?

Elasticity and durability combination. Many different materials were tried before hitting on latex rubber, then in 1895 Andre Michelin invented the pneumatic tire but never patented it. 1911 was the first successful pneumatic tire&tube. Charles Goodyear had invented and patented vulcanized rubber way back in 1844. yes, pre-civil war. Ford's first cars off the assembly line, in 1908, the Model T had solid hard rubber. They had tread patented by Frank Seiberling the same year. Nylon was experimented with-with limited success. The first tubeless tire was patented in 1903 by Goodyear Tire & Rubber but not approved by the US DOT for use on cars until the 1954 Packard. Synthetic rubber was patented by Benjamin Franklin Goodrich in 1937
