Wiley InterScience announced
the launch of the Wiley Database of Polymer Properties.
Based on the Polymer Handbook, 4th Edition, edited by J.
Brandrup, E.H. Immergut, E.A. Grulke, A. Abe, and D.R.
Bloch, the new database is the single most comprehensive
source of physical property data for
polymers commercially
available, with experimentally determined and selected data
for more than 2,500 polymers.
The Polymer Handbook is widely known as the essential print
reference for every polymer scientist's laboratory (the
"bible" of polymer physical data). By migrating the
traditional print product to an electronic product, Wiley
InterScience now offers an enhanced product with valuable
search features that allow scientists to:
- Search data by polymer name, as well as by property values and by full text.
- Create custom tables for a specific polymer. This feature queries across the entire database to gather
the physical constants from various tables into one
location. Tables may be viewed, printed, downloaded
into other programs, or saved for future use.
- Access abstracts or full-text html for the primary
literature via CrossRef in future updates.
