Notes:
The development of the main macromolecular products, both in the past and as a perspective, are presented together with the relevant social and economic aspects. In order to facilitate the analysis and study evolution, in a 40 years period, of the world macromolecular materials production and consumption figures, a programme in the FORTRAN IV language for the C-512 Felix computer was worked out.Comparisons are made between the man-made and the natural fibres, between the synthetic and the natural rubbers as well as between the technical-economical indices of the plastics, as compared to the traditional materials they replace.
