Issue 3/2017 - Polycarbonate: polymer materials for a wide range of applications

Editor's note: Polycarbonate, a combination of a variety of excellent characteristics of engineering plastics, has more than 50 years of safe use records, it is widely used in many areas of daily life, so that more and more people benefit, for people's modern lifestyle has made outstanding contributions
.
Starting from this issue, this magazine has launched a column "Achieving a Quality of Life, Polycarbonate Around You" to share those things about polycarbonate with readers
.

Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic engineering plastic with excellent performance, which integrates many excellent characteristics such as transparent, durable, not easy to break, heat resistant, flame retardant, etc.
, and is one of
the five engineering plastics.
Since the realization of industrial production in 1958, polycarbonate has gradually been widely used in all walks of life, and has been used safely for more than half a century, providing consumers with safety and convenience and achieving people's quality of life
