On how to write a scientific paper:

How to Write a Paper in the Scientific Journal Style and Format (Greg Anderson, Bates College)

Gives information on the structure of a paper and its parts. Important, though: different journals require different parts in papers. Fit Greg's advice to your needs.

UW-Madison Writing Center Science Writer's Handbook

More advice on structure of scientific papers.


 

On polymer science:

The Macrogalleria (University of Southern Mississippi) Educational website, aimed at audiences from high school to graduate school, on polymer science. Refreshing and useful general guide to polymers.
IUPAC Glossary of Basic Terms in Polymer Science Wait, what is the difference between a statistical copolymer and a random copolymer?
Polymer Data Handbook (James Mark, University of Cincinnati; Oxford Press)
Physical property tables for many different polymers, indexed by polymer.
Wiley Database of Polymer Properties
More data on polymers, indexed by information type.

Chemical Resources:

Sigma-Aldrich

Like the print catalog, gives chemical data (e.g., molecular weight, density, etc.) on many of the compounds Aldrich sells (including most of the chemicals you will use).
