Herman Staudinger (Germany) advances the macromolecnlar hypothesis... 

Staudinger s ideas were gaining popularity, but it was a 1928 paper by Herman Mark and Kurt Meyer that finally convinced chemists that Staudinger had been right. Mark and Meyer used x-ray crystallography to probe the structure of a crystalfized polymer and found that polymers were indeed long-chain molecules in which repeating xmits were linked by covalent bonds.

Herman Staudinger (1881-1965), German polymer chemist and professor at the University of Freiburg, received the Nobel Prize in 1953 for his discoveries in the field of macromolecular chemistry" However strange it may sound now, the concept of polymers was unthinkable in chemistry as late as 1926. 

That is. a macromolecule. The concept of polymer was introduced to chemistry by Herman Staudinger. 

Since Herman Staudinger proposed the macromolecular hypothesis in 1926 [29], the 20th century has wimessed significant development of macromolecular chanistry. Three major macromolecular architectures have evolved since then, namely linear (class I), crosshnked (class II), and branched types (class HI), as shown in Figure 11.2. These three classes of traditional synthetic polymers are produced by largely statistical polymerization processes.
