A plenary lecture should be an introduction into the main topic of the symposium and a review about the state of art. Therefore, in the first part of this presentation different possibilities for the preparation of new polymers are briefly discussed from a chemical point of view. Some selected examples from the literature show how methods of organic chemistry can be utilized for polymer science: new catalytic systems, new monomers, modification of polymers, new poly‐reactions. In the second part, several polyelectrolytes are described: polymers with sec., tert. and quart. N‐atoms in the main chain, block copolymers and block polyampholytes. The third part deals with the problems of rod‐like macromolecules for instance oligo‐ and poly(p‐phenylene)s, poly(p‐phenyleneethynylene)s, aromatic polyimides and a new spiroionene.
