Hi Jacob -
PubMed isn't universal - its goal is to cover the biomedical literature,
so articles on the margins, like organic chemistry, materials science
(even crystallography!) aren't fully covered. If you look at PubMed's
total coverage of the journal Macromolecules, you'll see that it's
extremely patchy: lots of articles from 1977, then almost nothing until
a whole fleet of articles in 1998, then almost nothing again until
2007. Your article must have fallen into one of these coverage holes.
Either that, or it's THE MAN suppressing the research needed to cure
cancer and the common cold, and build a car that runs on water...
