Features:
Search Enhancement: Reaction Natural Language
Text-based searching for reactions in CAS SciFinder is getting a significant improvement to better support natural language-style queries. Queries containing transformation names, substance classes, substance functional groups, and reaction participant roles (including solvents, reagents, and catalysts) are now recognized and supported.
Facet Substances by Polymer Class Terms
Substances can now be filtered by polymer class terms. This allows users to narrow search results quickly and efficiently when looking for specific types of polymers.
