Publisher's Synopsis

Tracing the historical development of synthetic materials, this study brings together technical, scientific, cultural and art historical perspectives which lead to the questioning of myths on the "new wave" of polymer history. Archival material sheds new light on crucial moments in the chemical development of plastics, from the semi-synthetic materials of the Victorian era to the plastics developed during and after World War II.
