The Department of Polymer Science at the University of Southern Mississippi provides the Macrogalleria: a cyberwonderland of polymer fun. At this site, the user has the opportunity to learn about polymers, "large molecule containing small molecules joined together chemically to form one giant macromolecule" and polymer science. Sections are divided into levels: Polymers are Everywhere, Polymers Up Close and Personal, How They Work, Makin' Polymers, and Getting Polymers to Talk. Each section provides a directory of polymers and clicking on the name of the polymer provides diagrams, images, and summaries of the each macromolecule. The site can be viewed in Afrikaans and French, and soon in Portuguese. This site is definitely worth a visit.
