The Rolduc Polymer Meetings, of which the contents of this volume
represent the third, are already on their way to occupying a unique
place in the crowded calendar of symposia on every aspect of
polymer science and engineering. They combine manageable meeting
size with a theme, 'Integration of Fundamental Polymer Science and
Technology', which is often discussed but seldom realized in
practice. The technological, or applied, areas of polymers have
perhaps received more emphasis historically than those of other
allied disciplines. Indeed, various plastic and rubber materials
were successful items of commerce long before the macromolecular
concept itself was firmly established. The more fundamental aspects
of the field were also largely developed in industrial
laboratories. The early work of Mark and Meyer at IG Farben, and
that of Carrothers and Flory at Du Pont, are good examples of this.
The present situation, in which polymers are being applied to more
and more demanding end uses, from high performance materials on the
one hand to the biomedical and electronics fields on the other,
caIls for an ever greater understanding of the basic scientific
principles governing their behavior. It is evident, therefore, that
interactions between those engaged in the 'pure' and 'applied'
parts of the field must be promoted effectively. The Rolduc Polymer
Meetings contribute significantly to such interactions, not only by
interweaving technological and scientific presentations, but also
by providing a forum for the participants to discuss problems of
mutual interest in all their complexity.
