Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) are frequently characterized as thermoset goods, meaning that they have been manufactured utilizing a thermoset resin. Contrary to thermoplastics, a thermoset resin ...

Bulk molding compound (BMC) is a ready-to-mold, glass-fiber reinforced thermoset polymer material used in compression molding, along with injection molding and transfer molding. BMC is manufactured by ...

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.

Many of the polymers that make up the items we rely on are relatively easy to break down. An otherwise robust styrofoam container will dissolve completely in a solvent like chloroform. Thermoplastics ...
