Polymers and the Environment
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.

Another source from Seoul National University, this book discusses mechanical and physical properties of polymers, a focus being on how molecular structure affects performance. Included topics are small vs. large molecules, shapes of molecules, and the study of polymer morphology. This resource also covers polymer blends and copolymers on how structure and composition may change the overall properties of materials. I find this resource informative about techniques used in testing polymers, such as physical testing methods, and really is a great guide for whosoever might want to understand the material science behind polymer engineering, blends, and their mechanical properties.

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.
