Abstract
This work aims to remember the origin of polymer science in the world, 100 years ago, thanks to Hermann Staudinger, and its emergence in Spain, in 1947. Likewise, it aims to provide a series of data and give a panoramic view on the origin of polymer science in our country and its repercussion in the international arena. This brief contribution is one of the many contributions in the form of articles, events and international conferences that will take place throughout the year 2020 to commemorate the first century of the Polymer Science.
