Thermoset resins covers an extremely wide range, including phenol formaldehyde polymers, aminopolymers, PUs, epoxies, and thermoset polyesters, which include the alkyd and unsaturated vinyl ester resins. Of special interest at the present time are those that comprise the resin component of liber-reinforced composites that are finding increasing use in commercial and defense sectors, where fire resistance is of paramount importance. Typical resins used are those listed in Table 2.4 along with typical, respective LOI values in descending order of increased inherent fire resistance.

In summary, for the reference case the cost to produce the fiber is estimated to be 10.3/lb. Multiplying this by a value of five to account for overhead and profit suggests that the fiber could be sold for about 50/lb. This is sufficiently low to promote much wider use of composites in both the commercial and defense sectors. 

Alex Mason graduated from the University of Liverpool, UK, with a first class honors degree in Computer and Multimedia Systems, after which he went on to complete a Ph.D. in Wireless Sensor Networks and their Industrial Applications at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), UK. Upon completing his Ph.D. in 2008, he concentrated for 2 years solely on research, working on aspects of non-invasive and non-destructive sensing for the healthcare, automotive and defense sectors. 

For engineers and scientists who prefer a career pathway in public service, working in the defense sector may be an exciting career choice. Three different types of service opportunities currently exist for career development in the defense sector civil, intelligence, and military. The civil service may involve working... 

When it comes to hiring in the defense sector, I particularly look for new recruits to have an insatiable intellectual curiosity and appetite for life-long learning. They must be able to work effectively on interdisciplinary teams -teamwork is the coin-of-the-realm in defense. They must be creative. They must have a passion for what they are doing. Further, they must do every job to the best of their ability, and not be afraid to fail. Rather, they should be willing to use any failure as a learning experience."... 

Altmaim (2004) noted that, with considerable effort in the areas of research and development, nanotechnology conld serve the following applications in the defense sector ... 

Epoxy resins see large applicability in the aerospace and defense sector for a large number of structural applications as adhesives, as coatings, and in composite forms. Epoxies are used in composite manufacture and repair, missile manufacture, and bonding of aluminum skins to the aircraft body.
