TY - CHAP U1 - Buchbeitrag A1 - Tondi, Gianluca A1 - Kandelbauer, Andreas A1 - Goodman, Sydney ED - Goodman, Sydney ED - Dodiuk-Kenig, Hanna T1 - Allyls T2 - Handbook of Thermoset Plastics N2 - This chapter addresses the importance and usage of the commercially low volume thermoset plastics group known as allyls. The three significant sub-elements of this group are poly(diallylphthalates), poly(diallylisophthalates), and poly(allyldiglycol carbonate). Chemistry, processing, and properties are also described. Allyl polymers are synthesized by radical polymerizations of allyl monomers that usually do not produce high-molecular-mass macromolecules. Therefore, only a few specific monomers can produce thermosetting materials. Diallyldiglycolcarbonate (CR-39) and diallylphthalates are the most significant examples that have considerably improved our everyday life.
