Thermosetting plastics are a distinct category of plastics whose
high performance, durability and reliability at high temperatures
makes them suitable for specialty applications ranging from
automotive and aerospace through to electronic packaging and
consumer products (your melamine kitchen worktop is a thermoset
resin ). Recent developments in thermoset plastics technology and
processes has broadened their use exponentially over recent years,
and these developments continue: in November 2011, French
scientists created a new lightweight thermoset that is as strong
and stable as previous materials yet can be easily reworked and
reshaped when heated which makes it unique amongst thermosets and
allows for repair and recycling.
The Handbook of Thermoset Plastics, now in its 3rd edition,
provides a comprehensive survey of the chemical processes,
manufacturing techniques and design properties of each polymer,
along with their applications. Written by a team of highly
experienced practitioners, the practical implications of using
thermoset plastics are presented - both their strengths and
weaknesses. The data and descriptions presented here enable
engineers, scientists and technicians to form judgments and take
action on the basis of informed analysis. The aim of the book is to
help the reader to make the right decision and take the correct
action - avoiding the pitfalls the authors experience has
uncovered.
The new edition has been updated throughout to reflect current
practice in manufacturing and processing, featuring:
Case Studies to demonstrate how particular properties make
different polymers suitable for different applications, as well as
covering end-use and safety considerations.
A new chapter on using nanoparticles to enhance thermal and
mechanical properties.
A new chapter describing new materials based on renewable
resources (such as soy-based thermoset plastics).
A new chapter covering recent developments and potential future
technologies such as new catalysts for ControlledRadical
Polymerization.
Goodman and Dodiuk-Kenig provide a comprehensive reference guide
to the chemistry, manufacturing and applications of thermosets.
Updated to include recent developments in manufacturing - from
biopolymers to nanocomposites.
Case Studies illustrate applications of key thermoset plastics.
