Thermoset material Plastic/adhesive layer consisting of molecule structures closely crosslinked by covalent bonds. A thermoset material is neither fusible, nor plastically deformable and is insoluble in solvents. 

Another advantage of using IPNs involves its thermosetting characteristics. By definition, IPNs will not flow when heated. A partial exception is the thermoplastic IPNs, which behave crosslinked at ambient temperatures, but flow at elevated temperatures. While some IPNs are tough, impact-resistant plastics, the crosslinking permits many other types of applications, such as sound and vibration damping, biomedical, adhesives and coatings uses, etc. (see Section 6.5).
