Application of engineering plastic materials to office automation and audio-visual appliances in Japan

摘要

A state-of-the-art review of the applications of engineering plastic materials for office automation and audio-vision appliances in Japan is presented, with particular attention to the recent development of engineering and super-engineering plastics in Japan. Material surveys are given for the following engineering plastics: polyamide, polyacetal, polycarbonate, modified polyphenylene oxide, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyphenylene sulfide, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyetheterketone, polyetherketone, polyarylate, liquid crystal polymers, polyimide, polyamideimide, and polyetherimide.
