Many publishers make available their databases on floppy disks or CD-ROMs, which are often found inside the back cover of the book. An example is the Properties of Organic Compounds (Tide and Milne 1999), which is a CD-ROM list of 27,500 known organic compounds and their formulas, molecular weights, melting points, boiling points, densities, refractive indexes, colors, solubility scales, vapor pressures, and threshold limit values (TLVs) that workers can be exposed to in a normal 8 h workday and 40 h workweek. This reference gives only a limited number of properties, and does not go into flammability or toxicity. Solubility in water is given only as a... 

Solvent activities of polymer solutions have been measured for about 60 years now. However, the database for polymer solutions is still modest, in comparison with the enormous amount of data available for mixtures of low-molecular substances. Three explicit databases have been published in the literature up to now. The database prepared by Wen Hao et al. is summarized in two parts of the DECHEMA Chemistry Data Series. Danner and Higtf provided a database and some calculation methods on a floppy disk with their book. WoUfarth prepared the most complete data collection regarding vapor-liquid equilibrium data of polymer solutions. His annually updated electronic database is not commercially available however, personal requests can be made via his e-mail address given above.
