What Are Thermosets?
Thermosets are polymers that have undergone irreversible chemical curing, or cross-linking, resulting in a rigid, insoluble, and thermally stable network. Thermal analysis is an ideal solution for characterizing these widely-used materials due to the variety of techniques and sensitive measurements that can be employed using only a small amount of sample. Techniques demonstrated in this book include DSC, TGA, TMA, DMA, Flash DSC, evolved gas analysis and sorption.
