COVER STORY
Twenty Years of “Growing Polymer”:How have Young Talents been doing
In 1991, Kobunshi started a unique column “Growing Polymer” prepared by young polymer scientists, where they vividly introduced themselves on the basis of their past careers, research achievements and future dreams. This has clearly indicated the activity and evolution of a new generation in polymer science. In the 20th anniversary, the present issue delivers columns that are re-described by the polymer scientists who appeared previously in this column in their young age, which let us envision concomitantly the past and future of polymer science in Japan.
