Properties of Materials and Chemicals

Resources by Materials: Ceramics

Online Resources [MIT Only]:
ASM Handbooks Online	Look for the ASM Desk Editions, Engineered Materials Handbook
Ceramics and Ceramic Engineering Handbooks via Knovel	Provides an introduction to a wide range of carbon fiber composites, including polymer-matrix, metal-matrix, carbon-matrix, ceramic-matrix, and hybrid composites.
CINDAS Microelectronics Packaging Materials Database [MPMD]	Contains data on thermal, mechanical, electrical and physical properties of electronics packaging materials, including over 750 materials and over 15,000 data curves. Developed under the sponsorship of the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC).
CINDAS Thermophysical Properties of Matter Database [TPMD]	Contains thermophysical properties of over 5,000 materials with approximately 50,000 data curves. Searchable by material, by property, or by partial string (name). Dynamic graphing capabilities allow users to compare the same property of multiple materials, change scale ranges, and export and import data.
Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology	Comprehensive coverage of the broad and multidisciplinary field of materials. Each article was commissioned and written by an internationally recognised expert and provides an overview of a particular aspect of the field. Includes extensive bibliographies, cross-referencing and indexes.
Reaxys	Search for organic and inorganic compounds in this database. Also known as Beilstin and Gmelin databases. *Tip:* Put the molecular formula in Hill Order. For more info, see ACS's page on Hill Order.
Article databases for finding information on Ceramics [MIT only]:
Compendex	A database for all areas of engineering Tip: Browse for Controlled Terms
Engineered Materials Abstracts	Contains information on ceramics, composites and polymers.
Inspec	A database for physics, electronics, electrical engineering, computer science. Tip: Use the Chemical Indexes, Descriptors, and Identifiers
SciFinder	For searching Chemical Abstracts, chemical literature. Note: This is a web-based product, but you need to register to access the database.
Ceramic Abstracts / World Ceramics Abstracts	Tip: Use the Descriptor (DE) field
