| Summary |
"This reference comprehensively details the analysis, synthesis, and chemistry of thermosetting polymers, blends, and networks and describes practical methods, processes, and formulations of specialized thermosetting polymer materials for industrial applications." |
|
"Thermosetting Polymers offers a survey of polymer chemistry; criteria for adequate selection of cure conditions; procedures and equations to calculate the statistical parameters of a network; numerous examples and descriptions of compounds containing thermosets, including coatings, adhesives, molding materials, composites, and micronetworks; and the latest rheological and dielectric techniques; and discusses preparing rubber-modified thermosets and thermoset-thermoplastic blends and structured networks; estimating temperature and conversion profiles during the cure cycle; the physical and chemical consequences of water absorption; the effect of crosslinks on the physical, elastic, and viscoelastic properties of thermosetting polymers; thermal and humid aging; and yielding and fracture of neat and modified thermosetting polymers."--BOOK JACKET |
