Polymer data handbook

Abstract

This Second Edition includes better values of properties already reported, properties not reported in time for the earlier edition, and entirely new properties becoming important for modern polymer applications. It also contains 218 total polymers, 20 of which are all-new, particularly in high-technology areas such as; electrical conductivity, non-linear optical properties, microlithography, nanophotonics, and electroluminescences. Examples of specific polymers include; silsesquioxane ladder polymers, 'foldamer' self-assembling polymers, and block copolymers that phase separately into 'mushrooms', ellipsoids, and sheets with surfaces radically different in properties from the other.
