This note covers the following topics: Basics of radiation
chemistry in the real world: nanoparticles in aqueous suspension, Hydrogen
generation in transuranic waste storage containers, Radiation chemistry of spurs
in polymers, Radiation polymerization in solution, Radiation-assisted
compatibilization of polymers, Nanopolymers and radiation, Electron beam
grafting of polymers, Degradation effects in polymers.
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 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.

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 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.
