Polymeric Potluck
This component is a fixative that encapsulates, bonds to and transfers the load to reinforcements of any composite.
What is the "Matrix"
When I reach an even distribution of substrates (Components or Precursers) I will be in this state.
What is "Homogenenous"
SDS
Safety Data Sheet
When I'm part "A" I go by this name, but add "B" and call me the same.
What is "Resin"
Once homogeneous (Stage B) I have this long in the pot before I gel.
What is "Pot Life"
TDS
Technical Data Sheets
A heavy weight long-chain molecule made of identical and individual sub units
What is a "Polymer"
When I'm un-opened and available for use, I have this long before my properties cant be guaranteed.
What is shelf-life
SRM
Structural Repair Manual
An individual molecule capable of bonding to like molecules to form a polymer
What is a "Monomer"
Once I'm in stage B and spread into a thin cross-section of reinforcment or other surface, I have this long before stage C
What is "Working time"
CTE
Coefficient of Thermal Expantion
After I have gelled and fully polymerized I am in this state
What is "Curred"
Mixing
Homogenous &
Gel stages
What are "A" "B" &"C"
TCC
Thermal Conductivity Coefficient
