Internet resources for materials science
A Resource of Theory and Modeling Techniques, Expertise, and Collaboration in Materials Science. Maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Provides links to current information concerning crystallography and other topics of interest to crystallographers from the International Union of Crystallographers.
The NIST Chemistry WebBook provides users with easy access to chemical and physical property data for chemical species through the internet. The data provided in the site are from collections maintained by the NIST Standard Reference Data Program and outside contributors. Data in the WebBook system are organized by chemical species. The WebBook system allows users to search for chemical species by various means. Once the desired species has been identified, the system will display data for the species.
Materials discovery through advanced scientific computing and design tools. A collaboration between MIT and LBNL.
Materials Safety Data Sheets. Full text searchable - Chemical name, formula, manufacturer, CAS #, symptoms of exposure. No login and no cookies required. All sheets are in 16-part ANSI compliant format as HTML or PDF files.
Full-text reports, or searchable extended abstracts of technical reports on the World Wide Web hosted by the University of Maryland. List no longer being updated since January 2013. Some links may no longer work.
