N2 - The availability of materials has been of a considerable impact on the human development over many centuries. Ever since the Stone age, through the Bronze and Iron ages and to the current age emerging as a “Polymer age”, humans have been constantly surrounded by polymers wherever they might be. The naturally occurring biopolymers, the DNA, the proteins and starches in foods, the tires on our bikes and cars, cotton, wool and rubber, are only a number of examples of polymers, which are supreme in their diversity and properties.
