The system is entirely free and has been cited by the President and Vice-President of the United States of America in a Environmental Technology report that was given in April of 1995. It is intended to be informative and instructional, even linking to an entire book on polymer chemistry in html format. A searchable index is available and a searchable jobs database. A dozen specific links include access to polymer chemistry resources, plastics engineering resources, and polymer toxicity and safety resources. The mission of Poly-Links is to provide the internet community with the world's premier index of internet polymer and plastics resources.
Mirror sites are available in China and the Netherlands.
The Poly-Links web server is updated once a month and is growing dramatically. The FNIC helps people looking for information or educational materials in the area of food and human nutrition.
