It is important to note that the discovery of the first American synthetic rubber was in the mid 1920 s when few scientists besides Hermann Staudinger and Herman Mark recognized the existence of polymers. Patrick demonstrated his inventive ability further by using rubber compounding recipes to cure (vulcanize) and reinforce this vile smelling, solvent-resistant, brown gum. 

Herman Mark, who celebrated his 93rd birthday in the spring of 1988 was involved in the science of macromolecules as a contemporary of Hermann Staudinger. ProfessOT Mark is a diplomat, author, and lecturer and responsible for the development of polymer science education throughout the entire world. 

The Discussion was Chaired by the current President of the Faraday Society, Sir W. Rintoul (O.B.E.). There was a special dinner before the meeting hosted by Rintoul and Donnan. The guests of honor were Hermann Staudinger, Kurt Meyer, Herman Mark, J.R. Katz and Wallace Carothers. It was a complete success (Fig. 3.8).
