Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The book aims to exchange and share a number of experts and scholars's experiences and research results about all aspects of polymer processing and modification technology; modern mold technology; rapid prototyping technology, automobiles, home appliances, electronic and aviation materials processing; materials processing simulation technology; molding equipment and process data acquisition and monitoring and other areas of new concepts. The book further enhance the interrelationships between realms of processing equipment, molding technology, mold design, mold manufacture and materials modification, to raise the application level for polymer and composite material in technologies such as cash manufacturing. APPF2012 is documented with over 100 papers on the preparation and technologies of polymer materials and composites, polymer manufacturing and industry technologies, and miscellaneous topics. Among the topics are influences of ultrasonic conditions on the dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in reinforced epoxy, preparing low-density material with high-volume filling rate of phenolic hollow microspheres, a numerical investigation of the temperature field in the oven of a rotational molding machine, identifying the location and orientation of terminal blocks based on template matching, and the design of a human tracking algorithm based in an improved camshaft.
