Polymer Chemistry Notes by VSSUT
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.

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.
