Abstract
Since polymers are often used as clear plastics or coatings and have many applications in which transparency is an important property, a knowledge of the optical properties of specific polymers is essential. The radiation scale, of course, includes microwave, infrared, ultraviolet, and visible regions, but the emphasis in this chapter is on the latter.
