100 years of polymer science

In 1920, organic chemist and father of macro-molecular chemistry Hermann Staudinger published his article “About Polymerisation”. His groundbreaking work, later awarded the Nobel Prize, set the stage for polymers research as a science.

To celebrate 100 years of polymer science, we would like to offer you carefully selected content dedicated to polymers and macro-molecular chemistry. Enjoy reading!
