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.

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.
