Procedure for publication of IUPAC Technical Reports and Recommendations

Recommendations & Reports

The "Procedure for publication of IUPAC Technical Reports and Recommendations" provides instructions for submission of the manuscripts to the IUPAC Division and the ICTNS. Guidelines of how to prepare manuscripts can be found in "Guidelines for Drafting IUPAC Technical Reports and Recommendations". As part of the review process IUPAC recommendations on nomenclature and symbols are made made available for public comment as provisional recommendations.

Lists of recent publications are available, sorted by division, i.e. discipline of chemistry, or by year. Each listing includes the report's title and reference, and when available, a link to the abstract.

Choose one of the following listings:

Year 2007 - 2006 - 2005 - 2004 - 2003 - 2002 - 2001 - 2000
---------- 1999 - 1998 - 1997 - 1996 - prior 96

THIS REVIEW covers significant developments in polymer analysis during the past two years. Stress is placed on techniques providing information on chemical and physical structure. No attempt was made to provide details of elastomers analysis, since these are reviewed in another section of this issue. However, reference is made to these materials where the techniques involved appear to provide useful background information on the more rigid polymers. References from Chemical Absfracts through November 1970 are noted.
