Thermo set resins

AH of the amine hydrogens are replaced when MDA or PMDA reacts with epoxides to form amine based polyols. These polyols can be used in reactions with isocyanates to form urethanes or with additional epoxide to form cross-linked thermo set resins.

Socketing (Thermo-Set Resin). Before proceeding with thermo-set resin socketing, the manufacturer s instructions for using this product should be carefully read. Particular attention should be given to sockets designed specifically for resin socketing. Other thermo-set resins used may have specifications that differ from those shown in this section. 

True synthetic polymers came into use when Bakeland came from Belgium and applied his knowledge of the formation of a moldable plastic from phenol and formaldehyde to give the product named Bakelite. This was about 1914. This product, under heat and pressure, set up to a thermo-setting resin and had useful properties especially as an insulating material for electrical items. 

Another of the early thermo-setting resins was the urea formaldehyde resin developed by American Cyanamid. Urea and formaldehyde gave methylol and dimethylol urea which on heating, further condensed to give the colorless resin. The technology of this process was well worked out, but the chemistry was still not completely understood. The colorless resin has been used to make many varieties of decorative materials and some essentially unbreakable dishes, among other uses. 

Generally, non-graphitizable carbons are formed (with few exceptions) from non-melting parent substances (macromolecular), for example coconut shell and thermo-setting resins. The macro-structure within such carbons generally follows closely the original structures...

Epoxy resins are used in cold setting or thermo setting adhesives, in production of industrial composites and films of high resistance and permanence. Over half of production is used in protective coatings. Electrical laminates and filament windings are also important uses, representing about 20% of consumption. 

From the beginning, poly(ester-imide)s had been developed as thermo-setting polymers. In the 1970s a development was started to use imide modification for improving the properties of thermoplastic polyesters. Later on in the patent literature liquid crystalline polymers can be found as being claimed as molding resins.

The synthesis of unsaturated polyesters has been studied by several workers. Such materials have been used in the formation of cross-linked resins, particularly where reinforced polymers are to be used. The kinetics of the thermo-setting process has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Photocrosslinkable unsaturated polyesters containing pendant chalconyl and cinnamylidenemalomyl moieties have also been produced. Such polymers were found not to exhibit any pronounced photofastness. Several other studies have described the synthesis and characterization both of the prepolymer, and the unsaturated resin. ... 

An even more critical weakness specific for SLA and related RP technologies is their limited choice of materials. The applied, rapidly curing resins yield highly cross-linked thermo-sets after completion of building and postcuring procedures. In contrast to the thermoplastics commonly processed in FDM and SLS, such thermosets suffer from their insufficient stiffness-toughness balance. Their weak mechanical properties limit possible applications in the field of RM to those in which mechanical stability is only a secondary concern. 

As adhesives they are very widely used both as cold setting and thermo curing. They can bond together a large variety of surfaces including metals. Araldite resins of this type are used widely in aircraft construction. They are also used for bonding concrete in dams and joining teflon film to stainless steel. They are used to encapsulate delineate electrical parts to protect them from shock and moisture. Such parts are used in components of rockets and satellites.

Properties of carbon-epoxy composites are dependent on the chemical and rheological events occurring during the epoxy cure cycle (1,2) The ability to conduct continuous in situ measurements of the epoxy cure states, cure kinetics, and viscosity of the resin matrix would enhance control of composite structures. Rheological, thermo-analytical, and spectroscopic techniques that measure these variables exist and are frequently used in laboratory studies of epoxy cure behavior. Physical restrictions, however, prevent the application of such techniques for in situ measurements during autoclave curing of composite structures in the factory setting.
