... 2 Chapter 1 Basic research in polymers is a major area of opportunity, highlighted by the following: Synthetic methods are needed to provide more precise control of polymer compositions, and a number of promising techniques are being pursued, e.g., coordination catalysis, biocatalysis and enzyme synthesis, ring-opening metathesis, group transfer polymerization, hybrid organicinorganic materials synthesis, and dendritic polymer preparations. Nature offers examples of precise polymer synthesis at good rates and mild conditions, and it remains for research to gain the understanding required to bring the fruits to commerce.
From page 3...
... Examples include two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) , which has become a premier method for determining sequence distribution, several high-resolution microscopic techniques that are specifically suited to the study of dielectric surfaces and can be used without the requirement of high vacuum (e.g., near-field scanning optical microscopy)
