Polymer research in industry: Quo vadis?
View through CrossRef
AbstractEven more than in the past, the polymer industry has to adapt its future strategy to a changing environment. This has, of course, also a great influence on industrial research and development activities. An attempt will be made to give answers on how industrial polymer research is going to live with this situation.The lecture is divided into 3 chapters:• Quo vadis Polymer Synthesis• Quo vadis Polymer Products• Effects on R & D‐Strategy and ‐OrganizationEach chapter begins with general remarks and ends with some detailed examples. The chapter on future R & D‐Strategy and ‐Organization also contains some comments on the future role of polymer research in academia.
