Thermoset matrix systems dominate the composites industry because of their reactive nature and ease of impregnation. They begin in a monomeric or oligomeric state, characterized by very low viscosity.

The reinforcement phase of these materials may consist of glass, carbon or aramid fibers in a matrix of resins such as polyesters, vinyl esters, epoxies or phenolics. Prior to impregnation of the ...
