高分子材料加工工艺是将高分子转变成实用材料或制品的一种工程技术。实现这种转变必须采用适当的方法，研究这些方法及所获得的产品质量与各种因素（材料的流动和形变的行为以及其它性质、各种加工条件参数和设备结构等）的关系，就是本课程的基本任务。本课程集合了塑料、橡胶等基本原材料及助剂，塑料的加工原理和橡胶加工工艺原理等众多的内容，适合于非高分子材料专业的其他专业学生必修。课程内容包括引言、高分子材料、高分子添加剂、高分子配方设计、高分子的混合与制备、模压成型、挤出成型、注塑成型、压延成型及其它成型工艺。
    本课程是高分子材料最重要的专业课之一，内容多，覆盖面广，要求学生掌握塑料和橡胶加工的共性和差异；通过高分子材料加工工艺课程的学习，对推广和开发高分子的应用有十分重要的意义。
    Polymer materials processing engineering is a technology, and the raw polymer materials can be transformed into useful materials or products by means of processing. In order to get the useful product, we must study the appropriate processing method and the relationship between the product quality and the related factors, which include the material flow behavior, the deformation behavior of polymer, the other properties, the varieties of processing conditions and parameters of the processing device, all the contents listed above are the basic tasks in this course. The course includes the raw polymer materials, additives used in polymer, plastics and rubber processing principle process, which is suitable compulsory course for non-polymer specialized undergraduates. The teaching contents in this course includes the introduction of polymer processing engineering, raw polymer materials, polymer additives, polymer recipe design, mixing and preparation of polymers, molding technology, extrusion molding, injection molding, calendering molding and other molding methods.
    “Polymer Processing Engineering” is one of the most important courses in polymer science; moreover, the teaching contents involve many areas and wide coverage, and the undergraduates also should need to master the similarities and differences between plastics processing and rubber processing. The course learning is much helpful for the promotion and development of polymer applications.
