Recent developments in thermoset plastics technology and processes has broadened their use exponentially over recent years, and these developments continue: in November 2011, French scientists created a new lightweight thermoset that is as strong and stable as previous materials yet can be easily reworked and reshaped when heated which makes it unique amongst thermosets and allows for repair and recycling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Thermoset Plastics\u003c\/i\u003e, now in its Third edition, provides a comprehensive survey of the chemical processes, manufacturing techniques and design properties of each polymer, along with their applications. Written by a team of highly experienced practitioners, the practical implications of using thermoset plastics are presented – both their strengths and weaknesses. The data and descriptions presented here enable engineers, scientists and technicians to form judgments and take action on the basis of informed analysis. The aim of the book is to help the reader to make the right decision and take the correct action – avoiding the pitfalls the authors’ experience has uncovered.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe new edition has been updated throughout to reflect current practice in manufacturing and processing, featuring:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Studies to demonstrate how particular properties make different polymers suitable for different applications, as well as covering end-use and safety considerations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA new chapter on using nanoparticles to enhance thermal and mechanical properties\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA new chapter describing new materials based on renewable resources (such as soy-based thermoset plastics)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA new chapter covering recent developments and potential future technologies such as new catalysts for Controlled Radical Polymerization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
