Welcome to the CME Research Guide
Welcome to the CME Research Guide! This is a gateway to article databases, eBooks, tutorials, and much more information you will need for class or research projects. Use the tabs above to navigate through this guide. Click on the subject guides in the left-hand box to go to other engineering guides. The Engineering (General) guide is a good starting place if you are not sure where to begin. If you have had instruction with a librarian during your class period, use the drop down menu under CME Class Pages for class resources.
Article Databases
Here are the primary chemical and materials engineering databases. If you are looking for general or additional databases, use the main Engineering Research Guide or one of the subject guides in the box to the left.
Advanced Polymers Abstracts - Covers technical information about the uses, manufacturing, and properties of thermoset and thermoplastic resins. Major areas of coverage include molding, thermoplastic elastomers, extrusion, materials development, polymer blends, joining and bonding, synthesis, PVC, chain structure, performance testing, compounding, and filled plastics. More Info
Beilstein - Compilation of chemical facts and access to journal literature indexing and abstracting, particularly organic chemistry. Use for planning synthetic routes (including starting materials and intermediates); determining bioactivity and physical properties, and ascertaining the environmental fates of compounds. Indexes 3 primary data domains: substances, reactions and literature. More Info
Ceramics Abstracts/World Ceramic Abstracts - This is a comprehensive database for the ceramics industry, providing international coverage on the manufacture, processing, applications, properties and testing of traditional and advanced ceramics. More info
Compendex - Primary engineering database; coverage from 1884 forward. More info
Composite Industry Abstracts -Focuses on polymers and ceramics reinforced with fibers, honeycombs, whiskers and laminates, including their applications. More info
Engineered Materials Abstracts - Covers the literature of polymers, ceramics, and composites in a variety of structural and other advanced applications in regard to research, manufacturing practices, properties and applications. More info
Materials Business File - Materials Business File covers industry news, product and process developments, plant development and construction, international trade data, government regulations, and management issues related to industries covered by other CSA Technology Research Database (TRD) subfiles. Begun in 1985 as an alerting service, the database now serves also as a historical business/industry reference. As of 2004, its coverage has been expanded to include business and industry information across the full scope of CSA's TRD and is no longer limited to the materials processing industries. More Info
MicroPatent Materials Patents - Indexing of the latest U.S., European, and Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) patents related to materials science and engineering. More Info
Polymer Library (Formerly RAPRA) - Indexes sources of information on rubber, plastics, adhesives and polymeric composites. Coverage includes commercial, marketing, technical and academic aspects of the rubber and plastics industry. More Info
SciFinder Scholar (Chemical Abstracts) - Includes extensive coverage of general chemistry and chemistry-related disciplines such as biochemistry, materials science, physical chemistry, pharmacy and chemical engineering. More Info
Web of Science - A major citation database with multidisciplinary coverage of over 10,000 high-impact journals in the sciences. More Info
