SciFinder Scholar - Polymer Searching

SciFinder Scholar polymer searching helps identifies strategies to find polymer information. Note that there are two ways of accessing SciFinder.
SciFinder

• with a molecular formula

• polymer classes

• polymers containing one or more monomer units

Wiley Datatbase of Polymer Properties
The Wiley Database of Polymer Properties is a comprehensive source of physical property data for polymers commercially available, with experimentally determined and selected data for over 2,500 polymers. The initial content is derived from the Polymer Handbook. The online product will be updated quarterly with the most current information available. Search features include the ability to search for polymers matching specific properties or ranges of properties, the ability to create custom tables for all the properties of a specific polymer, and the ability to access the full-text html for references to the primary literature via CrossRef.
