Polymers selected for this edition of the Handbook of Polymers
include all major polymeric materials used by the plastics and
other branches of the chemical industry as well as specialty
polymers used in the electronics, pharmaceutical, medical, and
space fields. Extensive information is included on biopolymers.
The data included in the Handbook of Polymers come from open
literature (published articles, conference papers, and books),
literature available from manufacturers of various grades of
polymers, plastics, and finished products, and patent literature.
The above sources were searched, including the most recent
literature. It can be seen from the references that a large portion
of the data comes from information published in 2011. This
underscores one of the major goals of this undertaking, which is to
provide readers with the most up-to-date information.
Frequently, data from different sources vary in a broad range
and they have to be reconciled. In such cases, values closest to
their average and values based on testing of the most current
grades of materials are selected to provide readers with
information which is characteristic of currently available
products, focusing on the potential use of data in solving
practical problems. In this process of verification many older data
were rejected unless they have been confirmed by recently conducted
studies.
Presentation of data for all polymers is based on a consistent
pattern of data arrangement, although, depending on data
availability, only data fields which contain actual values are
included for each individual polymer. The entire scope of the data
is divided into sections to make data comparison and search
easy.
