AB  - Technology and science are often successful in discontinuities ("disruptive 
      innovations" or "leapfrogging"), in turn allowing true, big societal development 
      by entire changes in technology rather than by minuscule stepwise improvements. 
      Examples are the emergence of modern computer science by inventing the 
      field-effect transistor rather than further fine-tuning the "Rohrentransistor"; 
      the development of (organic) light-emitting diodes in advance of the 
      "Gasgluhstrumpf"; CRISPR/Cas exceeding any previous genetic method or 
      Ziegler-Natta polymerization enabling stereoregular polypropylene (PP) and 
      high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in advance of free-radical polymerization. Where 
      may the frogs in polymer science in the future "jump" to? Contemplating past 
      achievements in (synthetic) polymer science, such as living polymerization, 
      "click" chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, the potentially "leaping" areas of 
      self-healing and (bio)degradable materials, amyloids, and biomaterials are 
      reflected upon.
