New Polymeric Products: Fundamentals, Forming Methods and Applications introduces applications of polymer materials in different fields, including new products and processing methods. This book is rich in content and creativity and introduces the development, history, characteristics and existing processing methods of polymer materials in a comprehensive and systematic manner. Sections include the latest achievements from future travel, energy problems, special environment, lens materials and biomedicine, which are the most concerning areas of human society today. The book also introduces forming principles, methods, achievements and development prospects from shallow to profound. It will benefit researchers and new academic participants and broaden their vision.
Sections cover the development history and prospect of polymer materials, introduce polymer materials, including new materials, characteristics, synthesis, naming and functionality, and delve into new processing and forming methods which are introduced in three parts: plastic, rubber and fiber according to different product types.
Professor Liu received his Ph.D. from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Science, in 2005. Then he worked at Tsinghua University as a post-doctor for more than two years. In 2011, he went to Cornell University as a visiting associate professor and worked there for a whole year.
