Thisworklist for theChemicals WikiProject gives structure and organization to all the work going on. The progress statistics from this worklist are published monthlyon the project discussion page.
The list is aligned withthe goals of the WikiProject. Additions and deletions to this list are not currently invited but remain possible. Feel free to post your proposals for such onthe discussion page.
All articles areassessed continuously. If you have improved an article, you may adjust the entry in this worklist yourself (all changes are monitored), or you may simply put a remark that improvements have been done (either in the worklist or on the talk page), and leave the re-assessment to WP:Chem core team members. Promotions to A-Class have an explicitpeer-review recommendation page; promotion toFeature article follow thenormal procedure.

Typically, these polymers do not have a table of properties. Instead of the usual chemical properties, a table of material properties for each of the polymers might be more suitable, although such properties may vary too much depending on molecular weight, branching, tacticity and monomer orientation (head-to-tail, etc.), cross-linking, and any co-monomers present (even in small amounts). At this point, these tables are considered to be low priority.

The following compounds have been discussed while deciding on the in-scope articles in this worklist. For reference purposes, they are listed here, but they arenot in scope of theChemicals wikiproject, and will not contribute to the achievement ofthe goals. Therefore, these articles will not follow the assessment scheme. In case you want to add or exchange a compound in the above worklist, be freely invited to propose such a change onthe talk page.
