here is a partial list intended only as a start:
General Description
Used alone or in combination with other resins, Surlyn® resins deliver outstanding impact toughness, abrasion resistance and chemical resistance in a variety of consumer and industrial products. Injection molded, extruded, foamed, thermoformed, or used as a powder-coating or resin modifier -- Surlyn® offers a broad range of processing options. Resulting applications range from tough, cut-resistant golf ball and bowling pin covers, to footwear components, glass coatings, abrasion resistant surfaces and buoys.
Because Surlyn® is a remarkably clear plastic, it can be used to replace glass or crystal. Unlike other clear plastics, Surlyn® is highly resistant to chemicals and oils, enabling unique packaging options for perfumes and cosmetics. When color is added, the resin assumes a deep translucence. Colors can be mixed to create a polished stone or marble appearance if desired. (See "The Fine Art of Surlyn®" for examples.)
Surlyn® resins also are used extensively as packaging films and sealants, described more completely at the DuPont Packaging web site.

Can you be more specific? Do you want trade names (like Surlyn) or technical names? Around the home you can expect to find polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE, or LLDPE depending on the extent of branching in the polymer structure), polypropylene, polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polyethylene terephthalate (PETE), polycarbonate, . . . in addition there are numerous copolymers such as EPDM, styrene-butadiene, ABS rubber, etc.
