Because of a lack of appreciation for his efforts in developing
modern polymer science, the contributions of Hermann Staudinger
were disregarded for decades. There have also been delays in
recognizing the contributions of other pioneers in polymer science.
Hence, it is gratifying to note that Professor Seymour chaired an
American Chemical Society Symposium focusing on the contributions
of these pioneers and that Kluwer Academic Publishers has published
the proceedings of this important symposium. H.Mark v DEDICATION
This book on Pioneers in Polymer Science is dedicated to Nobel
Laureate Polymer Scientists Hermann Staudinger, Emil Fischer,
Herman Mark, Paul J. Flory, Linus Pauling, Carl S. Marvel, M.
Polanyi, Giulio Natta, Karl Ziegler, and Bruce Merrifield as well
as to those pioneers such as J.C. Patrick, Robert Thomas, William
Sparks, Maurice Huggins, Qtto Bayer, Leo Baekeland, Anselm Payer,
Roger Boyer, Waldo Semon, Robert Banks, J.P. Hogan, and other
pioneers who, to a large degree, were responsible for the
development of the world's second largest industry. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The editor appreciates the contribution of co-authors Herman Mark,
C.H. Fisher, and G. Alan Stahl who co chaired the Symposium on
Pioneers in Polymer Science at the National Meeting of the American
Chemical Society at Seattle, WA in 1984 and who contributed a
chapter in this book. The editor is particularly grateful to Mischa
Thomas who typed this manuscript."
