A thermosetting plastic, also known as a thermoset, is polymer material that irreversibly cures. The cure may be done through heat (generally above 200 C (392 F)), through a chemical reaction (two-part epoxy, for example),
A thermosetting polymer is a prepolymer in a soft solid or viscous state that changes irreversibly into an infusible, insoluble polymer network by curing. Curing can be induced by the action of heat or suitable radiation, or both. A cured thermosetting polymer is called a thermose. Thermosets are permanently set once they are initially formed and cannot be melted. If they are exposed to enough heat, they become brittle and crack or become charred. once a thermosetting plastic object has been formed, it can't be remade into a different object
The linear chains are crosslinked - strongly chemically bonded. This prevents a thermoplastic object from being melted and reformed.
Statistics
Thermoset materials are generally stronger
Extrusion molding (used for making pipes, threads of fabric and insulation for electrical cables) Reactive injection molding (used for objects like milk bottle crates) Compression molding (used to shape most thermosetting plastics)
Injection molding
It is a manufacturing process for producing parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials. Material is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the mold cavity. After a product is designed, usually by an industrial designer or an engineer, molds are made by a moldmaker (or toolmaker) from metal, usually either steel or aluminium, and precision-machined to form the features of the desired part. Injection molding is widely used for manufacturing a variety of parts, from the smallest component to entirebody panels of cars.
Applications
Injection molding is used to create many things such as wire spools,
automotive dashboards, and most other plastic products available today. Injection molding is the most common method of part manufacturing.
Extrusion molding
It is a process used to create objects of a
fixed cross-sectional profile.
Because the material only encounters compressive and shear stresses. It also forms finished parts with an excellent surface finish. Extrusion may be continuous (theoretically producing indefinitely long material) or semi-continuous (producing many pieces). The extrusion process can be done with the material hot or cold.
Synthetic resins
Synthetic resins are materials with similar properties to natural resinsviscous liquids capable of hardening. They are typically manufactured by esterification or soaping oforganic compounds. The classic variety is epoxy resin, manufactured through polymerization-polyaddition or polycondensation reactions, used as a thermoset polymer for adhesives and composites.
Resin in the form of rosin is applied to the bows of stringed instruments (e.g. violin, , sarangi, etc), because of its quality for
adding friction to the hair. Ballet dancers may apply crushed rosin to
their shoes to increase grip on a slippery floor. Resin has also been used as a medium for sculpture by artists such as Eva Hesse, and in other types of artwork.
Polyurethane
It is an incredibly resilient, flexible, and durable manufactured material
that can take the place of paint, cotton, rubber, metal, and wood in
thousands of applications across all fields. Polyurethane might be hard, like fiberglass, squishy like upholstery foam, protective like varnish,
bouncy like rubber wheels, or sticky like glue. Since its invention in the
40s, polyurethane has been used in everything from baby toys to airplane wings, and continues to be adapted for contemporary technology.
POLYURETHANE FOAM
Polyurethane is a substance categorized as a polymer based on its chemical structure. One manufacturers polyurethane by combining a diisocyanate and a diol, two monomers, through a chemical reaction. This makes a basic material whose variations can be stretched, smashed, or scratched, and remain fairly indestructible. Depending on the different diisocyanates and diol or polyol constituents, the resulting polyurethane might take a liquid, form, or solid form, each with advantages and limitations.
Some polyurethane is categorized as an elastomer. It has elastic properties while maintaining some rigidity, such as in the wheels of a dolly that absorb shock but don't compress too much. It can be extremely flexible when used as a foam insulator

Uses
Over three quarters of the consumption of polyurethane products is in the form of foams, with flexible and rigid types being roughly equal in market size. Polyurethane materials are also used in coatings and
Polyester resin
One of a group of synthetic resins which undergo polymerization during curing; advantageous because high pressure is not required for curing; has excellent adhesive properties, high strength, good chemical resistance; esp. used in laminating and impregnating materials.
THERMOPLASTIC
What are thermoplastic composites? Thermoplastics are linear or branched macromolecules, which are held together by weak secondary bonds. The macromolecules can be linear or branched. If the polymeric molecules have few branches which increase the distance between the main chains, then the parallel lengths of the chains can form crystalline regions. Due to the limited mobility of the polymer chains, a thermoplastic will never reach a fully crystalline state: the material is at most semi-crystalline. Multi-branched molecules cannot be close together so there will be less crystallinity and the density will be lower. Polymers with low crystallinity are called amorphous.
