Summary
In this chapter we describe the resins used for the manufacture of composite artefacts. The concept of curing is discussed with respect to the chemistry of typical polymer matrices. The advantages and disadvantages of thermosets and thermoplastics are also discussed.
In the case of thermosets, the importance of thermoplastic and rubber toughening is considered. While we concentrate on polymer matrix materials, ceramic and metal matrices are referred to for completeness.
