was amazed to find that the isoprene
had In the interval been converted
into solid rubber. The long sought
key to the riddle was thus uncovered
by an accident.
Isoprene is an oily. volatile hydro
carbon. It was obtained by distilla

by Williams, and the analysis OF iso
prene showed that 1t was chemically
identical with the oil of turpentine
The problem since that day has been
twofold; first, to derive isoprene from
abundant raw materials, and then tc
effect its conversion into rubber
through the medium of plentiful anc

with natures product 1t was neces
