Thermoset Polymers: Vinyl Esters - Polymer Innovation Blog

The next few posts will discuss other types of thermosetting polymers including vinyl esters, unsaturated polyesters, and polyurethanes. Vinyl esters are a class of thermosetting polymers that have properties intermediate between unsaturated polyester and epoxy. Vinyl esters are cured in a similar manner to unsaturated polyester in that the vinyl esters are combined with styrenic […]

The Impact of Conversion on the Glass Transition Temperature – Part One - Polymer Innovation Blog

Over the years it has become apparent that an often mis-understood concept is how the fractional conversion (or percent conversion) plays a large role in the development of the glass transition temperature (Tg) during curing.  The question is why?  For many reasons it is important to keep current on scientific literature in your field.  But […]

The Impact of Conversion on the Glass Transition Temperature – Part Two: How to Build a Tg Versus Conversion Plot - Polymer Innovation Blog

The first post in this series showed the importance of the glass transition temperature (Tg) versus fractional conversion to correlate the development of Tg as a function of thermoset curing.  One relatively easy and straightforward method to build the Tg-conversion plot is to use differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The first task is to determine the […]

The Impact of Conversion on the Glass Transition Temperature – Part Three: More On Tg versus Conversion - Polymer Innovation Blog

While working on these posts and my book on “Thermosets,” I was going back through the literature related to the relationship of Tg and conversion and found a couple of book chapters I wrote back in 1990 [1 ,2].    As discussed in the previous two posts, in the late 1980’s there was considerable research in […]
