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.

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.
