Abstract
The Division of High Polymer Physics of the American Physical Society was founded in 1944, spurred in large measure by the development of synthetic rubber during the Second World War. With the enormous postwar growth of the synthetic polymer industry, the field of polymer physics burgeoned—and along with it, the Division of High Polymer Physics. At the time of the March 1984 APS meeting, the division was an active, thriving community of 1001 members with a variety of scientific interests and activities. In this article, we will attempt to give the flavor of their work. We hope our account is sufficiently specific to be useful and interesting to polymer scientists, yet general enough to be intelligible and interesting to the general reader.Keywords
