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.

Advanced Structures and Properties of Polymers
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.
