THERMOSET PLASTIC
Thermosetting polymer
A thermosetting polymer also called a thermoset, is a polymer that is irreversibly cured of a soft solid or viscous liquid prepolymer or resin. The process of curing changes the resin into an...

THERMOPLASTIC
A thermoplastic, or thermo softening plastic, is a plastic material, a polymer that becomes moldable above a specific temperature and solidifies upon cooling. Most thermoplastics have a high molecular weight. The polymer chains associate...
POLYMERIZATION & PROCESS
Polymerization
In polymer chemistry, polymerization is a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form polymer chains or three-dimensional networks. There are many forms of polymerization and different systems exist to...
POLYMER DESCRIPTION
Polymer
A polymer is derived and expressed Greek poly-, "many" + -mer, "parts" is a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits. Because of their broad range of properties, both synthetic and...
Monomer Description
Monomer
A monomer is a molecule that, as a unit, binds chemically to other molecules to form a supramolecular polymer. Large numbers of monomer units combine to form polymers in a process called polymerization....
