Abstract

To commemorate the centenary of the birth of modern polymer science, a review of the life and accomplishments of Hermann Staudinger is given within the framework of the first half of the twentieth century. Staudinger is remembered for his discovery of ketenes and the Staudinger reaction, but his greatest contribution to chemistry was in developing the concept of macromolecules, for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1953.

Keywords: Centenary of macromolecules; IUPAC Polymer Division

Article note: A collection of invited papers from members of the IUPAC Polymer Division Celebrating a Centenary of Macromolecules.

Dedicated to the memory of Aubrey Dennis Jenkins, emeritus professor of polymer chemistry at the University of Sussex, UK, a distinguished, respected, and long-serving member of IUPAC, who passed away April 2021, age 93.
