Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advances in injection molding technology, several technologies, including conformal cooling channels, molding prediction and optimization, smart molding, rapid heating and cooling, polymer foaming, core back, gas counter pressure, and injection–compression molding, have been introduced to overcome the molding problem. In this Special Issue of Polymers, we will provide some leading knowledge about these techniques. Thus, we seek to spotlight findings that incorporate a wide range of topics. Research articles or reviews concerning the topic are welcome.
