PoLyInfo: Polymer Database for Polymeric Materials Design

Abstract

Polymer database (PoLyInfo) provides various data required for polymeric materials design. The main data source is academic papers on polymers. PoLyInfo collects information on polymer names, chemical structures, processing methods of samples, measurement conditions, properties, used monomers and polymerization methods. PoLyInfo continues the expansion of data as one of NIMS materials database. This paper presents system architecture of "Polymer database (PoLyInfo)" and its distinctiveness. And we also report usage survey of our system.
