  1. Chapter 1. Introduction to Molecular Materials “The development of a civilization depends on new materials” Materials Science at the center of a tetrahedron of physics, chemistry, theory, and engineering Historical Development Declining trend in world consumption of metals Increasing trend in world consumption of polymers Polymer one of the most important materials to the modern society

  2. Commodity Polymers • Plastics and rubbers: PS, PVC, PE, PP, PBD • Fibers: Nylons, PET, PAn • Specialty Polymers • Created to meet demands of specialized applications • Small tonnage production • High value added • Polymers Are Everywhere • (examples of polymer products)

  3. Molecular Materials for Electronics and Optics
