Features: This manual is divided into two volumes (Materials Volume and Application & Testing Volume), containing 28 chapters. The Materials Volume first briefly introduces the basic knowledge, characteristics, status, and role of engineering plastics. It provides a detailed discussion on the preparation, properties, applications, modification, and processing technology and conditions of various engineering plastics, including general thermoplastic engineering plastics, special engineering plastics, general engineering plastics, general thermosetting engineering plastics, high-performance reinforced plastics, functional plastics, engineering foam plastics, and nano-modified plastics. The Application & Testing Volume covers material selection, formulation design, structural design, product design, product connection, and post-processing of engineering plastics, illustrated with examples. It introduces the applications of engineering plastics in various fields such as weaponry, electronics and electrical appliances, household appliances, automobiles, machinery, construction, chemical corrosion, aerospace, shipping, sports equipment, and medical devices through the preparation processes of various products or components. Based on current standards and practical testing experience, it explains the chemical analysis, instrumental analysis, physical analysis, and dynamic analysis methods for engineering plastics. Additionally, it covers methods and technologies related to aging and anti-aging. The manual emphasizes practicality, scientific rigor, advanced knowledge, and operability. The theoretical discussions are kept concise, with a focus on examples for illustration, progressing from simple to complex, and presented in an easy-to-understand manner with abundant illustrations. It is highly practical and user-friendly. This manual serves as a reference tool for researchers, designers, manufacturers, testers, managers, sales personnel, and educators.
