A human-made elastomer known as synthetic rubber encompasses mainly artificial polymers generated from petroleum byproducts. A substantial portion of these rubbers - approximately sixty-five percent of thirty-three billion pounds produced each year globally - originate from non-renewable materials. Annual revenues generated from these materials are expected to increase up to roughly fifty-six billion US dollars in 2020. This material, just like its natural counterpart, has uses in the automotive industry for components such as tires, profiles, hoses, belts, matting, and flooring.\nThe rise of bicycle production, which began in the late 1800s due to their use of pneumatic tires, significantly increased demand for rubber worldwide. Fritz Hofmann's group successfully synthesized isoprene at Bayer Laboratories in Germany during World War I to produce the first artificial elastomer. This innovation provided a basis for early large-scale commercial synthetic rubber production that took place primarily in Europe.\nProduction began using butadiene by the Russian scientist Sergei Lebedev in 1910. This type of artificial elastomer led to extensive large-scale production in the early twentieth century due to shortages of natural materials. Early artificial materials proved unsuitable as alternatives and gave way once again to use of the latex produced by Hevea brasiliensis, though investigation continued afterwards.\nIn the mid 1920s a series of significant advances was made by American Ivan Ostromislensky with respect to this field; Ostromislensky's investigations started from 1908. Ostromislensky conducted early studies on elastomers. A large drop in global rubber availability, largely attributed to economic conditions associated with natural materials and wartime restrictions that occurred in both Europe and North America led the U.S. government to adopt legislation referred to as The Stevenson Act, a piece of which prohibited importation, regulating prices, and thus controlling artificial elastomer costs - which were seen to have been raised artificially, at an estimated fifty percent increase on natural materials' values by war shortages. Fluctuating global rubber production was used by some businesses and governments during times of emergency to enforce high market values; as this has created the perception in these times that price regulation might reduce demand or raise costs.\nDue to large price fluctuations for materials - that rose in response, among other reasons to severe material shortages associated with conflict which limited their import - companies are currently considering alternatives such as elastomers to obtain synthetic materials at competitive market values by manufacturing those through the laboratory development process and industrial use. One study done at the U of ND has created one rubber called butadiene; this has many characteristics, in part related to natural latex produced for production that provides strong durability over temperature exposure to fuels including gasoline when compared against its alternatives.\nStudi released within 1930 independently made by Lebedev - which are in relation, American chemicalist W Carothers and Germany based Hermaine Staadingar have achieved significant improvement within production since last known successful experiment of their predecessor by creating a high resistance, insulating synthetic polymer material which uses neoprene under E. K. Bolton of Dupont. Another was also commercially produced the first competing type from thiokole - ethyel dichloride used within industrial use.\nThe Synthetic plant established as SK-1 under Russian leadership - Russia by scientist Serei Lebedev has developed one elastomer (based on Hevira plant of isopren - to increase resistance and also create fuel hose material), for wide application.\nAlso known in this class was another product that contains sulfur, and butylene or a mix made of butylene and other rubber which contains SBR from American industry company Goodyear chemical corporation (GCA).\nSome properties show synthetic as having several uses in place over the world due to the materials use for the production including some being able to work in high temperature and have been known for applications to industrial sectors of manufacture with higher cost products that last.\
