The book “Applications of Unsaturated Polyester Resins: Synthesis, Modifications, and Preparation Methods” provides a practical perspective on the use of unsaturated polyester-based materials in various innovative fields. It covers the basics of unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs), including their chemistry, additives, curing, and processing methods, as well as hydrolytic stability and structure-property relationships. The text also delves into modification strategies for UPR and the creation of bio-composites with natural fibers. Subsequent chapters focus on the preparation of UPR for specific applications in construction, marine and aerospace industries, adhesives and coatings, insulation systems, electrics, pipeline corrosion, military, biomedicine, and tissue engineering. The book also compares the advantages and disadvantages of UPR with other resins in terms of properties, performance, and life cycle assessment.
