The
UNESCO Chemistry for Life Division in Paris has 13 Associated
Centres for research in chemical science and education. One
of these is the UNESCO Associated Centre for Macromolecules
& Materials, which is part of the Chemistry Department
of the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. As part of
its activities, UNESCO encourages and sponsors UNESCO Schools
and scientific conferences in collaboration with scientific
associations such as IUPAC. The UNESCO School and Conference
on Macromolecules & Materials Science is held annually
in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Leading scientists in various
fields of macromolecular science are invited to give tutorials
at the UNESCO School and informative plenaries at the conference.
The
5th UNESCO School & IUPAC Conference focused on new polymeric
materials, polymer characterization, and recent developments
in polyolefins. Abridged versions of a number of papers from
the conference have been compiled in this volume of Macromolecular
Symposia. The content of the papers is also available in the
Virtual Teaching Encyclopaedia, which contains papers from
previous UNESCO conferences as well, at <www.sun.ac.za/
unesco/unesco.htm>.
