Preparation of polymers via catalytic reactions using monomers such as olefins, epoxides, carbon oxides, aldehydes and ethers etc. and their analysis. The preparation and analysis of novel polymers is of particular interest. The first investigation of material properties such as thermal, mechanical and rheological behaviour is used for this purpose.
