Explanation:
It depends what the "some" refers to:
- if e.g. research (I have made some research...) I can send it
- if e.g. programs (I have made some programs...) I can send them

IMHO it is impossible to answer your question as it stands. Sorry :(

BTW - no 'will' after 'if' - if you ARE interested I can send them/it *for*?? (possibly 'by') e-mail
