Features: This manual is a reference tool for researchers, designers, manufacturers, testers, managers, sales personnel, and educators. It emphasizes practicality, scientific rigor, advanced technology, and operability. The theoretical discussions are concise, with a focus on illustrative examples, presented in a progressive and easy-to-understand manner, complemented by visuals for enhanced usability. The manual is divided into two volumes (Materials Volume and Applications & Testing Volume), containing 28 chapters. The Materials Volume briefly introduces the fundamental knowledge, characteristics, significance, and role of engineering plastics, providing detailed discussions on the preparation, properties, applications, modification, and processing techniques of various types of engineering plastics, including general thermoplastic engineering plastics, special engineering plastics, general engineering plastics, general thermoset engineering plastics, high-performance reinforced plastics, functional plastics, engineering foam plastics, and nano-modified plastics. The Applications & Testing Volume covers material selection, formulation design, structural design, product design, product connection, and post-processing, illustrated with practical examples. It presents the applications of engineering plastics in various fields, such as weaponry, electronics and electrical appliances, home appliances, automobiles, machinery, construction, chemical corrosion prevention, aerospace, shipping, sports equipment, and medical devices, in the form of product or component preparation processes. Based on current standards and combined with practical testing experience, it introduces chemical analysis, instrumental analysis, physical analysis, and dynamic analysis methods for engineering plastics. Additionally, it covers aging and anti-aging methods and technologies.
