Cure of a Loaded Polyester Resin in a Metallic Mould

  • Chapter
Cure of Thermosetting Resins

Abstract

Modelling of the process of cure is necessary to afford further insight into the nature of all phenomena, and therefore to improve the quality of the final material and to reduce the time of cure in the mould. The most important aspect in the process of cure of thermosets is the high cure enthalpy associated with a low thermal conductivity, which may give rise to excessively high temperature and to substantial temperature gradients within the resin, when standard moulds are used [1–8].
