Polymer Scholar

About Polymer Scholar

This tool searches for property values found in the abstracts of journal papers. Enter the name of a polymer (e.g. polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene etc), or the name of a property (e.g. melting temperature, tensile strength, glass transition temperature etc) or both. This will produce an interactive plot of property values found in journal papers.
