This site is meant to supplement high school and college freshman
chemistry classes with the science of macromolecular materials. The
story and science of rubber are used as a vehicle for teaching polymer
principles, and when possible, reinforcing the principles of basic
chemistry as well. It is hoped that the commonplace nature of rubber
and the human stories presented in this website will help make
chemistry more enjoyable for students and more relevant to their daily
lives.

Lakelandelements
sells a wide range of traditional made-to-measure raincoats but on her website Lorraine celebrates the cult of the
traditional 'mackintosh' in “Lorraine’s Rainwear Club”. This contains a
vast number of pages relating to every aspect of this ubiquitous
article. The site is tricky to navigate but the link
www.lakelandelements.com/rainwearhistory/rainwearhistoryindex.htm
takes you to rainwear history which includes the complete e-text
of Hancock’s “Personal Narrative”. Work backwards from here through
links in the top right to “chillout room” then “club foyer” and then to
“SHOP” in the bottom left. If you love Mackintoshes you’ll love this
site!
