Polymers and P Guide - Resources and Review

Interdisciplinary research centre for aspects of polymer, random, and fractal systems which develops experimental and computational materials for school and undergraduate education.
 
Two major bibliographic databases for engineering, supplied and owned by Engineering Information Inc. Ei Compendex is a vast interdisciplinary engineering database, with summaries of journal articles and conference proceedings and technical reports in areas such as civil and structural engineering, computer and electrical engineering, energy technology, materials science and metallurgy, polymers and food technology.
 
Speciality polymers and biologically active compounds.
 
Details of several chemistry mailing lists, with details of how to subscribe.
 
International journal devoted to colloid and polymer science and its interdisciplinary interactions. It has three categories of contributions: leading contributions, articles, and short communications, as well as reviews of books, proceedings, and conferences.
 
Journal providing rapid publication of significant advances in polymer science, including chemistry, physical chemistry, physics and material science. Results of current research are presented as brief reports to provide information useful to all those concerned with polymers. Descriptions of new methods, procedures or techniques should be sufficiently detailed so as to permit their use in other laboratories.
 
Features a subscription based database of abstracts which deal with technical, academic, commercial and marketing aspects of the rubber and plastic industries. Also includes industry news, software downloads, and a quarterly newsletter entitled Medical Device news.
 
Links to numerous annotated and evaluated online resources relevant to polymers, ceramics and composites.
 
Provides news, information on publications, events, and membership details for the American Chemical Society Division of Polymer Chemistry.
 
Monthly magazine for the world's tyre and rubber industries. Each issue contains an editorial covering news, market intelligence and analysis, and articles discussing a particular technical issue in the industry. Tables of contents are available for back issues.
 
Publication providing news headlines, feature articles, archives from January 1994 onwards and annual technical notebooks addressing topics such as material properties, uses and performance. Subscription charges apply but many segments have unrestricted access.
 
Project established in 1993 to produce microcomputer software for use in undergraduate teaching of materials science and engineering.
 
Offers original articles and features about chemistry, plus annotated links to selected relevant Internet resources compiled by a subject specialist, a subject
specific bulletin board, and details of related news and events. Topics include analytical chemistry, atomic structure, biochemistry, chromatography, crystallography, electrochemistry, plastics and polymers, and spectroscopy.
 
Information about current research, including microgel particles; monodisperse, surfactant
free silicone oil-in-water emulsions; a variety of core-shell systems; microemulsions; synthetic clays; adsorption studies of polymers and their effect on dispersancy properties; attachment of particles with gas bubbles; and particle deposition/adsorption onto macroscopic surfaces.
 
Set of peer reviewed journals in the broad area of physics, with full text access available to members of subscribing institutions. Tables of contents and the full text of featured articles are freely available to all. The electronic journals offer full text with mathematics and graphics, and allow searching, browsing and printing. Some titles, eg Nanotechnology, offer multimedia features such as videos of molecular simulations.
 
Provides a gateway to polymer resources on the Web and offers a directory of polymer processing companies throughout the UK. Technical developments from around the world are monitored and industry news is provided.
