Compendium of Polymer Terminology and Nomenclature, IUPAC Recommendations 2008

摘要

In 2002, the newly constituted Subcommittee on Macromolecular Terminology of Division IV of IUPAC set about the task of revising the Compendium of Macromolecular Nomenclature (the Purple Book) which was published in 1991 under the auspices of the Commission on Macromolecular Nomenclature of the then Macromolecular Division of IUPAC. Since then, the names of the division (now the Polymer Division), the sub-committee (now the Subcommittee on Polymer Terminology) and the Purple Book have all changed after the shear scale of the task was realized at a meeting of the editorial panel in Prague in the spring of 2006.
