| Review: | The aim of this book is to provide uniform coverage of the field of thermosetting polymers for readers new to the field. It coves the analysis, synthesis and chemistry of thermosetting polymers, blends and networks and describes practical methods, processes and formulations for specialized thermosetting polymer material for use in industry. There are chapters on: the chemistry of cross-linked polymer synthesis; gelation and network formation; glass transition and transformation diagrams; the kinetics of network formation; rheological and dielectric monitoring of network formation; the inhomogeneity of cured sets; preparation of modified thermosets; temperature and conversion profiles during processing; basic physical properties of networks; the effect of cross-link density on elastic and viscoelectric properties; the yielding and fracture of toughened networks; and the durability of a material. |
