Read MoreResin matrices: Thermoplastic
In contrast to crosslinking thermosets, whose cure reaction cannot be reversed, thermoplastics harden when cooled but retain their plasticity; that is, they will soften and can be reshaped repeatedly by reheating them above their processing temperature. Less-expensive thermoplastic matrices offer lower processing
