Encyclopedia

Within our encyclopedia, you will find information about materials, especially polymers. Polymers, known from daily use or application specific polymers with special properties are introduced and, if available, publicated with producing companies and their tradenames.

Additionally, our encyclopedia contains explanations for terms, methods, concepts and physical quantities that we are daily faced with during our work with permeation and polymers.
