COVER STORY
Fantastic Gifts of Polymer
Unveiling this High Polymer special issue, we would like to send Christmas greetings to you, on the occasion of one of “the soft projects” of the 60th anniversary of the Society of Polymer Science, Japan establishment. Polymers are very familiar to us all. Various products around us are made from polymeric materials to make our life rich. Although the “polymer” sometimes represents a hard image as a technical term, we would like you to turn your eyes to “soft” and friendly aspects of the polymers through this special issue. Additionally, we hope it will present an opportunity for student members attending job-hunting activities and young company members to have a new interest to the “polymer”. May great gifts reach all of you in connection with the “polymer” at the night of the Christmas of the 60th anniversary !
