	Engineering Plastics, Tamron USA
		Engineering Plastics used in Tamron lenses are the same materials as those used in aircraft and automobiles because of their outstanding reliability.
		Engineering Plastics are now widely used in sophisticated products ranging from driving mechanisms and gears in high-end audio equipment and VCR's to chassis of almost all racing cars including those used in "Indy 500" that is deemed to be the most severe race requiring the highest level of endurance.
		The engineering capability of injection molding and the degree of accuracy of molds used are key to successful use of Engineering Plastics.

	Plastics engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A plastic is a polymeric material that is in a semi-liquid state, having the property of plasticity and exhibiting flow.
		Mechanical properties of plastics are often difficult to quantify, and the plastics engineer has to design a product that meets certain specifications while keeping costs to a minimum.
		Some plastics are manufactured from re-cycled materials but their use in engineering tends to be limited because the consistency of formulation and their physical properties tend to be less consistent.

	Boston.com / Business / Technology / Pushing Plastics
		UMass-Lowell is among the nation's leading centers for plastics technology, and its plastics engineering program, the only one of its kind in the US, is helping to push the boundaries of how this versatile material is used, produced and processed.
		Researchers at UMass-Lowell have been thinking about plastics since at least 1954, when its plastic engineering department was founded at what was then Lowell Technological Institute, and new materials, like polypropylene, polyethylene and polycarbonate, were expanding plastics to industrial and structural applications.
		Plastics engineers helped devise a sleeve of naturally-based plastic that dissolves harmlessly into the body's system and, unlike surgical steel, eliminates the need to remove the hardware when the treatment is completed.

	Engineering plastics in China have good growth prospects
		China is estimated to consume more than 4 million tons of the engineering plastics in 2005, reaching levels of about 7 million tons by 2010, attaining an average growth of about 9% in the next 5 years.
		Domestic production of engineering plastics is currently only 1.25 million tons, hence, like the other polymers, China has to import a huge quantity of engineering plastics.
		The country's import of engineering plastics has surged from 2.28 million tons in 2002 to 3.31 million tons in 2005.
