This study deals with the dynamic mechanical properties of a glass‐reinforced vinyl ester
resin. The viscoelastic parameters of the loss factor and the storage modulus as a function of …

By evaluating the behavior of unsaturated polyester used in marine environments at room
temperature, it is possible to determine its degradation using mechanical characterization …

A prior study has shown for a vinyl ester resin that the adequate choice of the curing
conditions becomes completely necessary to reach the maximum glass transition …

The process of cure of the resin of a coil coating is studied by considering the heat transfer
by convection onto the surfaces and conduction through the metal and the resin, the mass …

The resistance to water at 100 ºC of unsaturated polyester coatings is evaluated by
determining the kinetics of absorption of water. The process is controlled by Fickian diffusion …

The variation of the hardness of an unsaturated polyester coating when it is in contact with
water during the process of absorption, or during the following stage of evaporation of the …

Repairing broken thermoset pieces is often carried out, although optimization of the
technique may not have been achieved. A new way is investigated using a thermoset based …

Plane parallel composites were prepared in such a way that the hardness differs from one
face to another. Thermosetting resins were pressed and cured in a mould whose slabs were …

Chemicals, especially in the liquid state, can enter thermosetting polymers. Thus, the
process of absorption of styrene by cured unsaturated polyester is found to be controlled by …

The effect of the state of cure and peroxide content on EPDM rubbers has been studied by
considering some properties of the final material such as the hardness and the resistance to …
