✦ Synopsis

A major workshop was convened by an international group of leading researchers in polymer processing to discuss the touchstones of modern polymer processing. The workshop-Touchstones of Modern Polymer Processing-was generously supported by the universities of some of the participants, by industry, and by the hosts of the workshop, the Polymer Processing Institute and the New Jersey Institute of Technology, and took place on May 10-12, 2002 in Newark, NJ, USA. To further this work, comments from interested groups and individuals are earnestly solicited.

The workshop was organized in order to take stock of the historical evolution of the field of polymer processing, analyze current developments in research, take note of structural changes in industry, and consider future trends.
