One of the most significant discovers from nature so-employed by innumerous means is rubber. Hence, the world wouldn’t be the same without this material found in form of tree sap or synthetically obtained in laboratories and called by the botanicals as “Hevea Brasiliensis”. When collecting jungle scouts would cris-cross scores on the tree trunk and attach a small bowl onto it for sap collecting.
A famous name is Charles Goodyear of the rubber industry. Due to the fact that when rubber was early explored its products didn’t last much longer. Goodyear made his way trough this problem: He received, in 1837, his first patent for a process he invented that made rubber easier to work with. But that is not all. Six years later, by removing the sulphur from rubber, and then, heating it, he realized that elasticity rendered further retained. From this incredible discover, rubber waterproof and winter-proof were invented. Such process namely as “vulcanization”. Today most of us already heard about it or just saw a “Goodyear” product.
Other very important end for the rubber was thought and invented in the late 1800’s. Humphrey O’Sullivan received the first patent for a rubber heel for shoes, and then, was invented the world wide known “Sneakers”. Other important rubber-based product, so indispensable today, is the Polystyrene. It is created from erethylene and benzene and its extreme importance comes from the fact that it can be injected, extruded or even blown molded, making it a very versatile material, used in the composition of goods as PVC, Magnetic Tape and Synthetic Rubber.
Rubber is present in our every day life; from the smallest to the biggest feature. It entails so many derivates in that different to be considered as important as antibiotics, for example.

Highly widespread whose importance is unquestionable paint that is. And yet from time immemorial, grades of paint helped out rendering our lives more colorful and, consequently, the surroundings. Without paint humans wouldn’t be able to create some of the most magnificent deeds ever, our artistic paintings. Throughout the years, ingredients contained in painting started to vary and, this way, new types of paints started to be invented. In the 20th century, water-based paints, including watercolors and acrylic paints, became very popular with the development of latex and acrylic pigment suspensions. Milk paints, whose some components are milk-derivatives, as popular in the 19th century still available today. Also, egg tempera (where the main component is egg yolk) still much en vogue, as are encaustic wax-based paints.

Though you can’t see it, the invisible beam of laser light hitting Jodi Taylor’s skin a couple of times a second is audible enough: a sharp, sparkplug ZAP! that sounds like the repeat of a miniature Buck Rogers disintegrator pistol. The result is almost as striking. As the laser moves over her tattoo — a wild horse, galloping across her ankle — every ZAP! makes the skin rise in a tiny w...
