Synopsis

Thermosets: Structure, Properties, and Applications, Second Edition builds on and updates the existing review of mechanical and thermal properties, as well as rheology and curing processes of thermosets, and the role of nanostructures in thermoset toughening. All chapters have been updated or re-written, and new chapters have been added to reflect ongoing changes and developments in the field of thermosetting materials and the applications of these materials. Applications of thermosets are the focus of the second part of the book, including the use of thermosets in the building and construction industry, aerospace technology and as insulation materials. Thermoset adhesives and coatings, including epoxy resins, acrylates and polyurethanes are also discussed, followed by a review of thermosets for electrical applications. New chapters include coverage of thermoset nanocomposites, recycling issues, and applications such as consumer goods, transportation, energy and defence. With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, the second edition of Thermosets: Structure, Properties, and Applications is an essential guide for engineers, chemists, physicists and polymer scientists involved in the development, production and application of thermosets, as well as providing a useful review for academic researchers in the field.

• Links structure, properties, and applications, making this book relevant to both academia and engineers in industry
• Includes entirely new chapters on the use of thermosets in aerospace, transport, defense, and a range of consumer applications
• Enables practitioners to stay current on the latest developments in recycling of thermosets and their composites

From the Back Cover

Thermosets: Structure, Properties, and Applications reviews both factors affecting thermoset properties

and how this understanding can be used to engineer thermosets for particular uses.

In this new edition, Thermosets: Structure, Properties, and Applications builds on and updates the

existing review of mechanical and thermal properties, as well as rheology and curing processes of

thermosets, and the role of nanostructures in thermoset toughening. All chapters have been updated

or re-written, and new chapters have been added to reflect ongoing changes and developments in the

field of thermosetting materials and the applications of these materials.

Applications of thermosets are the focus of the second part of the book, including the use of

thermosets in the building and construction industry, aerospace technology and as insulation

materials. Thermoset adhesives and coatings, including epoxy resins, acrylates and polyurethanes are

also discussed, followed by a review of thermosets for electrical applications. New chapters include

coverage of thermoset nanocomposites, recycling issues, and applications such as consumer goods,

transportation, energy and defence.

With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, the second edition of

Thermosets: Structure, Properties, and Applications is an essential guide for engineers, chemists,

physicists and polymer scientists involved in the development, production and application of

thermosets, as well as providing a useful review for academic researchers in the field.
