Properties of Polymers

Another source from Seoul National University, this book discusses mechanical and physical properties of polymers, a focus being on how molecular structure affects performance. Included topics are small vs. large molecules, shapes of molecules, and the study of polymer morphology. This resource also covers polymer blends and copolymers on how structure and composition may change the overall properties of materials. I find this resource informative about techniques used in testing polymers, such as physical testing methods, and really is a great guide for whosoever might want to understand the material science behind polymer engineering, blends, and their mechanical properties.
