Computer Simulation of Polymer Conformation at UC Irvine
http://www.chem.uci.edu/education/undergrad_pgm/applets/conf/conf_explain.htm well, I couldn't get the Java applet to run on my 486 clunker, but this text accompaniment was itself quite informative. |
| Polymer Chemistry Hypertext
by the students of Professor J. Stober at the University of Missouri - Rolla it's easy to feel chained at first by all the material here, but take your time and check it out -- definitely worth repeated visits for the links alone! |
| Plastics.com
a primarily industry-oriented sign-up site; resource section still largely in development, but has a heavily-used forum section with a classy look, along with news and other information. Links to National Plastics Center & Museum. |
| American
Plastics Council
http://www.americanplasticscouncil.org/ lots of varied information |
| Polymers:
National Plastics Center &
Museum at Leominster, MA
this site's main function is to get you to visit in person -- it sounds like there's a lot of interesting stuff there, including the Plastics Hall of Fame, but not much to see online. |
| The Polymer
Center at Battelle
Memorial Institute
http://www.battelle.org/specialprograms/advancedmaterials/polymer/default.stm not a lot of hard info here, but you can certainly get a good picture of how many important applications there are to polymer chemistry |

| The
Historical Metallurgy Society Ltd.
http://hist-met.org/ formerly at http://users.ox.ac.uk/~salter/hms/ we're all the descendants of miners, smelters, and smiths -- as so many surnames in a wide variety of languages still show! And I grew up in that steel town that calls itself the Capital of the North Coast! Lots of interesting links. |
| Institution
of Mining and Metallurgy
tons of links to other institutions |
| Metallurgy Resources on the
Internet by Antonio Augusto Gorni, after Cathy D. Stewart
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/5978/metal.html the layout may be plain, but there are loads of usefully organized links here. Last update in Aug 2001, but site is under continuous construction and many links I tried were not working. |

of Metallurgy from
steelmill.com, the Polish steel industry
directory
http://www.steelmill.com/DICTIONARY/Dictionary_f.htm it's in English |
