Synonyms
thermoset thermoset plastic thermoset material
Definitions
Prior to curing, thermoset materials often occur as a soft solid or viscous liquid prepolymer or resin. In the literature, those are often referred to thermosetting resins. During curing process, well-defined and irreversible chemical networks form in three dimensions thus giving the thermosets a strong and rigid structure that can be added to other materials to increase strength. A polymer which has been irreversibly hardened by heat-induced curing.
