INFORMATION THE International Symposium on Macromolecular Chemistry conducted under the aegis o f IUPAC was held from 17 to 21 October 1978 in the U.S.S.R. (Tashkent). IUPAC--the International Association of Theoretical and Applied Chemistry was founded in 1918 and is now the largest and one of the most active international scientific associations incorporating 45 countries. There are six departments belonging to the Association, including one of macromolecular chemistry. Every year this department holds International Symposia devoted to the most important problems of polymer chemistry and physics. When selec.ting the subject matter of the activity of the Symposium the Organizing Committee proceeded from the need for examining a number of theoretical and applied problems related to the effective and ptirposetul use of polymers at the present time and the development of new types of polymer materials. Problems of developing polymers which satisfy the requirements of modern technology also occupy an important place in the work of the Symposium. This involves first of all polymers used under extreme conditions at increased and reduced t~mperaturcs, materials characterized by high chemical and radiation stability and a complex of intercstin~ electrophysical properties. Furthermore,, The Symposium will deal with methods of solving a number of applied problems related to the improvement of the quality of polymers and products made from them by the modification and regulation of physical structure. I t is proposed to discuss problems concerning the chemistry of cellulose and the development of materials from it. All these scientific problems will be dealt with at plenary and sectional meetings and during special "Round Table" discussions. Plenary papers were compiled by leading scientists: Acad. K. A. Andrianov (U.S.S.R.). Prof. G. Klare (G.D.R.), Perf. G. Mark (U.S.A), Prof. G. Smcts (Belgium), Prof. P. Flory (U.S.A.) and Prof. D. Furukawa (Japan). The following sections will take part in the Symposium: 1. Radical polymerization 2. Ionic coordination polymerization 3. Polycondensation 4. Synthesis of now polymers 5 . Chemical Coffversions in Polymer chains 6. Degradation and stabilization of polymers 7 . Structure and physical properties of polymers 8. Polymer solutions = : * Vysokomol.' soyed. A20: No. 9, 2157, 1978. .

9. Scientific principles of forming compositions 10. Cellulose and cellulose derivatives. There is hope that summing up modem achievements of scientific research in the field of macromolecular chemistry, discussing methods of developing polymer science and exchanging experience between scientists and specialists of many countries of the world concerning the solution of a number of scientific and applied problems dealt with at t h e Symposium, will extend the sphere and increase the efficiency of scientific investigationm and the practical application of scientific and technical ideas.
