For more than 90 years, researchers around the world have relied on the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics for authoritative, up-to-date data. This year will be no exception. New tables, extensive updates, and added sections mean the Handbook again sets a new standard for reliability, utility, and thoroughness.

This Edition includes seven new tables:

Vapor Pressure of the Metallic Elements

Electrical Conductivity of Aqueous Solutions

Proton Affinities

Electron Inelastic Mean Free Paths

Selected Properties of Semiconductor Solid Solutions

Vapor Pressures (Solvent Activities) for Binary Polymer Solutions

Density of Sulfuric Acid

Substantial revisions and extensive updates of more than 20 tables including:

NIST Atomic Transition Probability Tables

Summary Tables of Particle Properties

Threshold Limits for Airborne Contaminants

Bond Dissociation Energy

Standard Transformed Gibbs Energy of Formation for Important Biochemical Species

Sources of Physical and Chemical Data appendix

And more!
The 86th Edition also marks a fresh look for the Handbook. A larger format and new layout makes it easier to read and a new typeface makes the tables and diagrams crystal clear.
