Thermoset Resins

Abstract

Thermosets are highly cross‐linked polymers that are cured or set using heat, pressure, light, microwave and/or, energy devices. This leads to high performance products for industry because of their high modulus, strength, durability, and resistance toward thermal stress and chemical attacks as provided by their high cross‐linking density. Within this contribution, a special emphasis was made on phenolics, epoxy, polyester, BMI, cyanoester, POSS, urethanes, flame‐retardant thermosets, nano‐poly‐petroleum‐based, and biobased thermosets.
