Chemorheology of thermosets - An overview

A review of current chemorheological techniques and measurement systems is presented for unfilled and filled thermoset resins. The specific measurement techniques for the kinetics, chemorheology, and modeling of these systems are presented, with particular emphasis on the chemorheological techniques and measuring systems. These techniques and measurement systems provide a greater understanding of traditionally complex thermoset processes, provide effective quality control measures for these processes, and will reduce design and operating costs in associated industries.
