Today, Built-Rite, located in Lancaster, MA, is the parent company of Reliance Engineering, a molder of thermoplastic and thermoset materials, and LSR Engineering, which performs LSR molding. Four ...

Thermoset matrix systems dominate the composites industry because of their reactive nature and ease of impregnation. They begin in a monomeric or oligomeric state, characterized by very low viscosity.

Long perceived to be in decline, thermoset resin molding is being revived by two Japanese companies as a process with ample potential to contribute to lightweighting in electric vehicles (EVs).

Case Western Reserve researchers developing process to recycle ‘thermoset’ plastics; examples include wind-turbine blades, auto parts, boats, other structural materials Researchers at Case Western ...

Chemists have developed a way to modify thermoset plastics with a chemical linker that makes it much easier to recycle them, but still allows them to retain their mechanical strength. Thermosets, ...
