Improvement of injection molding processes remains a topic of great interest in both industry and research institutions. This book intro-duces the analysis of the molding process from a systems technology point of view. It is divided into four parts: the first part provides general background to introduce the injection molding process, the second covers the control of the process, the third is on the monitoring technology, and the fourth is concerned with the optimization of the process. Most the results within are from real engineering implementations and experimental tests. Dr. Furong Gao received his B.Eng. degree in Automation from the East China Institute of Petroleum in 1985 and M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering from McGill University, Canada, in 1989 and 1993, respectively. Currently, he is a Chair Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), and a “State Thousand Talents (B)” Professor at the Department of Control Science and Engineering, Zhejaing University, China.
