Note 1 This term was used originally because of its analogy with a natural resin (rosin) and designated, in a broad sense, any polymer that is a basic material for plastics, organic coatings, or lacquers. However, the term is now used in a more narrow sense to refer to prepolymers of thermosets (thermosetting polymers). 

Poly(vinyl acetal)s can be formulated with other thermoplastic resins and with a variety of multifunctional cross-linkers. When cross-linking takes place the resin becomes thermoset. Thermosetting generally increases thermal stability, rigidity, and abrasion resistance, and improves resistance to solvents ancl to acids and bases. It also severely limits proccssibility by making the resin insoluble and impossible to extrude. 

Plastics can be placed into two main categories, thermoplastic and thermoset. Thermoset plastics are irreversibly formed into a permanent shape often by applying heat. Thermosets caimot be softened and remoulded on heating and have few applications in food packaging, except for the iimer linings used for can coatings and many adhesives, as used, for example, in multilayer materials. A limited range of food contact materials is made from thermosets, predominantly melamine resins and unsaturated polyesters used in tableware and utensils. 

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) involves scanning an electron beam (5-lOnm) across a surface and then detecting the scattered electrons. Literature abounds, with work focussing on the use of SEM in the fracture and failure of epoxy resins and other thermoset polymers. Also work on multiphase thermosets (thermoset-thermoplastic blends, thermoset nanocomposites, interpenetrating network (IPN) polymers) is abundant.

Thermoset - Thermosets are resin and plastic compounds which, after final processing, are substantially infusible and insoluble. Thermosets are often liquids at some stage in their manufacture or processing and are cured by heat, oxidation, radiation, or other means often in the presence of curing agents and catalysts. Curing proceeds via polymerization and/or crosslinking. Cured...
