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.
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.
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.
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.
