Synthetic polymers can be denoted as the materials of the 20th century. Since World War II the production volume of polymers has increased by a factor of 50 to a current value of more than 120 million tonnes annually (Figure 1.1). The con-sumption per capita has also increased over the years to a worldwide average of ap-proximately 20 kg per annum in the year 2000. In terms of volumetric output, the production of polymers exceeds that of iron and steel. The enormous growth of synthetic polymers is due tot the fact that they are lightweight materials, act as in-sulators for electricity and heat, cover a wide range of properties from soft packag-ing materials to fibers stronger than steel, and allow for relatively easy processing
