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.

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.

Polyester Production, Characterization and Innovative Applications
The work cuts across advanced research on polyester production methods, characterization techniques, and new applications. It explores the functional properties of polyester, including modification applied to enhance the performance of polyester, among them being unsaturated polyester resins. The book also addresses polyester in construction and automobile industries, its function in several forms such as fiber, resin, and composite. The book contains elaborate analysis of the polyester mechanical, chemical, physical, and thermal properties and can be used as an aid for understanding the versatility and future of such an important polymer.
