Ahhh, I love the Internet... Here's something useful I tripped over the other day, courtesy of The International Association of Plastics Distributors and Modern Plastics. It's a set of PowerPoint presentations used to educate their members and I though a lot of it was pretty useful. Make sure you display the notes for each slide as they contain the narrative that goes with the presentation.
The links will take you to one of six modules: Module 1: How Plastics are Made, Understanding the Physical Properties of Plastics Module 2: Understanding the Basics of Plastic Materials Module 3: Amorphous and Semi-Crystalline Commodity Thermoplastics (Part 1) Module 4: Amorphous and Semi-Crystalline Commodity Thermoplastics (Part 2) Module 5: High Performance Thermoplastics Module 6: Understanding Thermoset Plastic Materials

Get 'em quick while they're still available...
