Polymer science is a technology-driven science. More often than
not, technological breakthroughs opened the gates to rapid
fundamental and theoretical advances, dramatically broadening the
understanding of experimental observations, and expanding the
science itself. Some of the breakthroughs involved the creation of
new materials. Among these one may enumerate the vulcanization of
natural rubber, the derivatization of cellulose, the giant advances
right before and during World War II in the preparation and
characterization of synthetic elastomers and semi crystalline
polymers such as polyesters and polyamides, the subsequent creation
of aromatic high-temperature resistant amorphous and semi-crystal
line polymers, and the more recent development of
liquid-crystalline polymers mostly with n~in-chain mesogenicity.
other breakthroughs involve the development of powerful
characterization techniques. Among the recent ones, the photon
correlation spectroscopy owes its success to the advent of laser
technology, small angle neutron scattering evolved from n~clear
reactors technology, and modern solid-state nuclear magnetic
resonance spectroscopy exists because of advances in
superconductivity. The growing need for high modulus,
high-temperature resistant polymers is opening at present a new
technology, that of more or less rigid networks. The use of such
networks is rapidly growing in applications where they are used as
such or where they serve as matrices for fibers or other load
bearing elements. The rigid networks are largely aromatic. Many of
them are prepared from multifunctional wholly or almost-wholly
aromatic kernels, while others contain large amount of stiff
difunctional residus leading to the presence of many main-chain
"liquid-crystalline" segments in the "infinite" network.
