The main area that resource Telmo Ojeda talks about involves ecological aspects of polymers focused on the waste of polymers, degradation process, and biodegradable polymers. He expresses the fate of polymeric material at disposal, elaborating on non-biodegradable and biodegradable polymers primarily from renewable resources. This guide provides valuable information to understand synthetic polymers' ecological implications and future aspects with development aspects for environment-friendly polymers. The note on emerging materials provides a brief overview of materials that have been developed with environmental issues posed by plastic waste in their mind and could be the route to sustainable polymer development.

List of synthetic polymers by Wikipedia.org
This Wikipedia resource provides an overview of the most common synthetic polymers; namely, low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), nylon, and others. The resource outlines the general properties of these polymers, its uses, and production methods with more attention on their wide applications in daily life. This guide would serve as an excellent resource to the understanding of the synthetic polymer industry and the key materials that are integral to modern manufacturing, packaging, and electronics. It is a quick one-stop reference that scholars can use.

This set of notes by Prof. Lee summarizes the two major polymerization methodologies: step polymerization and chain polymerization. The purpose it serves in giving an overview of how the former processes work and why they are important in polymer synthesis makes the insight that much invaluable. Step polymerization is the process by which monomers are brought together to form polymers through condensation or elimination reactions, and the primary focus of chain polymerization is based upon polymer growth through repeating cycles of monomer addition. The notes provide a compact source of information on polymerization techniques. It is, therefore, highly necessary to students as an introductory material in polymer chemistry, a fundamental method of polymer science.

Polymer Engineering Lecture Notes
The lecture notes of Prof. Roylance outline the field of polymer engineering which is centered on designing and analyzing synthetic polymers. Some content covered includes properties selection for material mechanical characterizations, methods in designing load-bearing and environment-friendly structures. Other aspects of polymer engineering, which include material performance in real scenarios as well as optimization of materials for use in a range of applications, are also mentioned in lecture notes. This resource is especially invaluable for engineering students and professionals working on the design and production of polymer-based materials for structural applications.
