3-Part Core Curriculum Video Series

Core Curriculum 3 Part Series

In order to provide a strong, base foundation Thermoset University has a set of three core courses that are prerequisites for the advanced topics. While these are strongly recommended, those students with prior experience in thermosets may be able to jump right into some of the advanced videos. For those looking to build a strong foundation in thermosets, it is recommended to start with the core courses below and then move on to the advanced courses.

“Introduction to Thermosets” presented by Dr. Jeff Gotro

Do you know that composites are used in applications as diverse as airplanes and iPads? This video provides the foundation in thermoset technology. In this video you will learn:

  1. the differences between thermoplastics and thermosets
  2. typical thermoset polymers and applications
  3. the basic chemistry and physics of thermosets
  4. typical thermosetting polymers properties (Tg, modulus, etc).

“Introduction to Thermoset Curing Chemistry” presented by Dr. Jeff Gotro

The popular 5 minute epoxy or Crazy Glue® used in many “fix-it” jobs involve curing chemistry and these are thermoset formulations. There are a wide variety of curing chemistries available and this video will provide the basic chemistry of common curing reactions. In this video you will learn:

  1. curing basics for some typical thermosets
  2. introduction to thermal and UV curing
  3. how to select the right curing chemistry for your applications.

“Gelation, Vitrification, and Introduction to Cure Kinetics” presented by Dr. R. Bruce Prime

Since thermosets start as low viscosity liquids to enable ease in processing and the chemical reactions transform thermosets into solids, do you know the important parameters that can hinder or aid the final properties of cured thermosets? In this video you will learn:

  1. the basics of gelation (formation of an infinite network)
  2. the transition from rubbery to glassy state (vitrification)
  3. the basics of determining the cure kinetics (speed of chemical reaction) for various types of thermosets.

Our powerful line-up of industry experts will provide the basics of thermosets allowing you to get the full benefit of the advanced topics in future videos. Our approach combines teaching both fundamentals as well as proven problem solving techniques. Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn from the leaders in Thermosets.
