FOREWORD
'Integration of Fundamental Polymer Science and Technology' is a theme that admits of countless variations. It is admirably exemplified by the scientific work of R. Koningsveld and C. G. Vonk, in whose honour this meeting was organized. The interplay between 'pure' and 'applied' is of course not confined to any particular subdiscipline of chemistry or physics (witness the name IUPAC and IUPAP) but is perhaps rarely so intimate and inevitable as in the macromolecular area. The historical sequence may vary: when the first synthetic dye was prepared by Perkin, considerable knowledge of the molecular structure was also at hand; but polymeric materials, both natural and synthetic, had achieved a fair practical technology long before their macromolecular character was appreciated or established.
Such historical records have sometimes led to differences of opinion as to whether the pure or the applied arm should deserve the first place of honour. The Harvard physiologist Henderson, as quoted in Walter Moore's Physical Chemistry, averred that 'Science owes more to the steam engine than the steam engine owes to Science'. On the other hand, few would dispute the proposition that nuclear power production could scarcely have preceded the laboratory observations of Hahn and Strassmann on uranium fission. Whatever history may suggest, an effective and continuous working relationship must recognize the essential contributions, if not always the completely smooth meshing, of both extremes. An outsider gains the impression that this principle must have long been firmly recognized at DSM in order to have enabled Koningsveld and Vonk to make the broadly impressive contributions that are here recognized. The vagaries of the market-place have led in many industrial establishments to painful fluctuations in fundamental research effort, generally to no useful ultimate purpose. The papers assembled in this volume could, in our view, achieve no more desirable goal than to create strong impressions that might contribute to the stabilization of long-range research programmes.
(As a frivolous aside, we may recall that a similar question, regarding the relative importance ofwords and music, has long plagued opera-lovers and has inspired some pithy replies. When asked whether text or musical score

was more important to his light operas with Sullivan, W. S. Gilbert answered by the single word 'Yes!' Actually, the science/technology dualism itself has been musically addressed by the composer Koningsveld in the second movement, 'Contrasts: Polypenteneamer and Phantom Networks', of his Polymer Music, Op. 2.)
The programme of the Rolduc meeting was divided into a number of areas, several of which (Thermodynamics, Blends, Morphology) embrace directly the major research interests of the honorees. The other major sections (Diffusion and Barriers, Processing and Rheology, Chain Dynamics, Characterization and Solution Behaviour, New Developments) round out a full picture of modern polymer research and its technological spinoffs. Readers of this volume, as well as attendants at the Rolduc gathering, owe thanks to DSM for its sponsorship, and above all a debt of profound gratitude to Drs P. Lemstra and L. Kleintjens and their helpers for organizing the meeting and for their herculean efforts during its actual course. They have set an example which one hopes will inspire many followers.

PREFACE
In April 1985, Ron Koningsveld and Chris Vonk of DS M Central Research retired after a lifetime devoted to the transfer of fundamental polymer science to technology. For his work on the integration of academic and industrial research, the University of Bristol awarded the degree of Doctor of Science honoris causa to Ron Koningsveld. announced during the conference and presented on 9 July. The simultaneous retirement stimulated the idea of organizing an international discussion meeting on the theme 'Integration of Fundamental Polymer Science and Technology'.
The aim of the meeting was to stimulate discussions between both academic and industrial polymer scientists and processing engineers. About 250 participants took part in the conference, which was held in Rolduc Abbey, a well-preserved medieval monument in the rural province of Limburg, The Netherlands.
In close consultation with the advisory committee, Sir Geoffrey Allen (London), Sir Charles Frank (Bristol), Professor G. Smets (Louvain), Professor W. Beek (Rotterdam) and Professor G. Menges (Aachen), the organizing committee, encouraged by honorary chairman A. H. de Rooij (Research Director of DSM), composed a programme consisting of the following topics: Thermodynamics/(Co)polymer Blends; Diffusion/Barrier Properties; Chain Mobility/Morphology; Processing; Polymer Networks; and Speciality Polymers. Each topic was introduced by invited academic or industrial experts, after which contributed papers and posters were presented.
All active participants were asked to submit a paper for this book. The editors are not to be held responsible for the scientific contents or views which are expressed herein, but we are convinced that the reader will enjoy some of the controversial opinions presented in this volume.
We thank all contributors to this volume and we hope that the 'Rolduc Polymer Meeting' will become an established event with the aim of the transfer of polymer science to technology.
