...After Pearl Harbor, the Government and private companies dithered for four months over how much synthetic rubber to manufacture and how to make it. Wild-eyed inventors were promoting schemes to produce it from Mexican guayule shrubs and Russian dandelions. The program started to get on track when the War Production Board decided to go basically with one type of synthetic, Buna-S, made from butadiene and styrene; Standard Oil of New Jersey held the U.S. patent rights for Buna-S.
