John Twiss Blake (c. 1901-June 26, 1987) was a research scientist at the Simplex Wire and Cable company. in Boston, Massachusetts who, along with Charles R. Boggs, found that proteins present in natural rubber were responsible for water absorption. Blake and Boggs showed that the proteins could be isolated by repeated centrifugal action on liquid latex. In 1926 Simplex applied for a patent on the deproteinized rubber. This became the basis for a new product family of lightweight, moisture-proof Anhydrex-insulated power and communication cables. He made significant contributions to understanding various degradation mechanisms of rubber, including the effects of water absorption, exposure to light, ozone, and microbes.
