Thermoplastic polymers account for more than 80 wt.% of all polymer materials. They will become soft and finally flowable upon heating, and inversely solid when they are cooled down. Therefore, various kinds of products based on thermoplastic polymers, widely used in daily life, automobile and electronic industry, etc., can be facilely fabricated by conventional melt processing methods (e.g., extrusion, injection molding, hot-pressing and so on). In a word, melt processing methods are a crucial bridge between thermoplastic polymers and their wide applications.
