Features: This book is the foundational volume of the "Occupational Skill Qualification Training Course for Plastic Products Molding and Manufacturing Workers." It is divided into six chapters. The book introduces fundamental concepts such as the definition, classification, and characteristics of polymer macromolecules, the relationship between polymer structure and properties. It covers commonly used general synthetic resins and engineering plastics in plastic product molding, as well as the classification, chemical structure, and functions of additives commonly used in plastic molding. Additionally, it discusses the forming characteristics and rheological properties of plastics, the physical and chemical changes during the molding process, and the current theoretical foundations of processing. The book also explores equipment and mixing mechanisms for initial plastic mixing, advanced industrial blending processes and methods, the main methods and mechanisms of plastic molding, emerging new technologies and processes in molding in recent years, and the development direction of plastic processing. Each chapter is accompanied by review questions and exercises. This book is suitable for occupational skill qualification training for plastic product molding and manufacturing workers, as well as on-the-job training for intermediate, advanced, and senior technical workers. It can also serve as a reference for teachers and students of plastic technology programs in secondary vocational schools and technical schools.
