Jones, Jaroslav Kahovec, Robert F.T. Stepto, Edward S. Wilks, Michael Hess, Tatsuki Kitayama, Wladyslaw Val Metanomski, Aubrey Jenkins, Pavel Kratochvil Glossary of basic terms in polymer science (1996) Stereochemical definitions and notations relating to polymers (1980) Definitions of terms relating to individual macromolecules, their assemblies, and dilute polymer solutions (1988) Basic classification and definitions of polymerization reactions (1994) Definitions relating to stereochemically asymmetric polymerizations (2002) Definitions of terms relating to crystalline polymers (1988) Definitions of basic terms relating to low-molar-mass and polymer liquid crystals (2001) Definition of terms relating to the non-ultimate mechanical properties of polymers (1997) Definitions of terms related to polymer blends, composites, and multiphase polymeric materials (2004) Terminology of polymers containing ionizable or ionic groups and of polymers containing ions (2006) Definitions of terms relating to the structure and processing of sols, gels, networks and inorganic-organic hybrid materials (2007) Definitions of terms relating to reactions of polymers and to functional polymeric materials (2003) Definitions of terms relating to degradation, aging, and related chemical transformations of polymers (1996) Introduction to polymer nomenclature Nomenclature of regular single-strand organic polymers (2002) Nomenclature of regular double-strand (ladder and spiro) organic polymers (1993) Structure-based nomenclature for irregular single-strand organic polymers (1994) Graphic representations (chemical formulae) of macromolecules (1994) Source-based nomenclature for copolymers (1985) Source-based nomenclature for non-linear macromolecules and macromolecular assemblies (1997) Generic source-based nomenclature for polymers (2001) ISO abbreviations for names of polymeric substances Bibliography of biopolymer-related IUPAC-IUBMB nomenclature recommendations. The IUPAC system of polymer nomenclature has aided the generation of unambiguous names that re ect the historical development of chemistry. However, the explosion in the circulation of information and the globalization of human activities mean that it is now necessary to have a common language for use in legal situations, patents, export-import regulations, and environmental health and safety information. Rather than recommending a ‘unique name'for each structure, rules have been developed for assigning ‘preferred IUPAC names', while continuing to allow alternatives in order to preserve the diversity and adaptability of nomenclature.Compendium of Polymer Terminology and Nomenclature is the only publication to collect the most important work on this subject into a single volume. It serves as a handy compendium for scientists and removes the need for time consuming literature searches. One of a series issued by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), it covers the terminology used in many and varied aspects of polymer science as well as the nomenclature of several di erent types of polymer including regular and irregular single-strand organic polymers, copolymers and regular double-strand (ladder and spiro) organic polymers.

This new edition of the "Purple Book" is one of a series of books issued by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. It collects into a single volume the most important position papers on the nomenclature and terminology of several types of polymers, such as Regular Single-Strand Organic Polymers, Regular Double-Strand (Ladder and Spiro) Organic Polymers, and Irregular Single-Strand Organic Polymers. The scope has been extended to include papers on terminology for polymers. It is a handy compendium for scientists and is invaluable for those professionals working in this field "The IUPAC system of polymer nomenclature has aided the generation of unambiguous names that reflect the historical development of chemistry.
