This book presents a collection of articles by a group of renowned polymer scientists from around the world who participated in the May 29~31, 2004 conference celebrating 50 years of polymer education and research at Peking University. About fifty years ago when Dr. Xin-De Feng, an early student of Professor C. C. Price at the University, he described polymer science as being “young and beautiful”. Fully living up to the expectations expressed by Dr. Xin-De Feng, the field of polymer science and engineering has quickly developed into the newest and most active area in chemistry, materials science, and engineering during the second half of the 20th century
