| Introduction |
This topic identifies a strategy for finding polymer classes by Research Topic.
|
| Definition |
Polymer classes are broad groups of polymers with particular structural characteristics. Polymer classes include:
- Acrylic acid polymers
- Extruded plastics
- Isoprene rubber
|
| Preview |
Locating research papers about a polymer class of interest is a two-step process:
- Locate general research on the polymer class.
- Refine results based on the application of interest.
|
| Example |
Locate acrylic polymers used as coating materials.
|
