The lecture notes by Sathyabama Institute of
Science and Technology detail polymer chemistry at considerable length, with
interest in the mechanisms, techniques, and degradation mechanisms of polymers.
They also include a general overview of industrial polymers, processing methods,
and classifications as well as bonding in polymers. The text delves into the
area of chain growth polymerization. This resource offers a balanced discussion
of the theoretical aspect and practical application of polymer chemistry, making
it apt for polymer science and engineering students. Moreover, the notes focus
on the environmental challenges within the degradation of the polymers as well
as the production of eco-friendly materials.

This note covers the entire syllabi of Veer Surendra Sai University
of Technology (VSSUT) various basic as well as advanced topics of polymer
chemistry. It introduces classes of polymers, which discuss the differences
between thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers, and discusses natural versus
synthetic polymers. This note will be covering organic and inorganic polymers
with special emphasis on cis-trans isomerism and the glass transition
temperature. The notes also elaborate on significant features such as
crystallinity in polymers, step polymerization or polycondensation and kinetics
of polymerization without strong catalysts. Molecular weight control of linear
polymerization receives major emphasis and is thus a useful reference for
students and for professionals who need to study synthesis structure, and
properties of polymers, in detail.

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.
The resource provided by Seoul National University has deep
insight into the physical and structural properties of polymers. Text here
covers different states through which polymers go: rubbery, molten, and
crystalline states, in addition to discussing crystallization processes and
polymer morphology. This resource covers the ways molecular structure affects
the material's physical properties and behavior. Topics include conformation,
real chain structures, and the glassy state with substantial detail in how
polymers operate under various conditions. This sourcebook is indispensible
reading for anyone investigating the structural-functional relation in advanced
polymer science.
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.
