thermosetting
Thermosetting refers to a type of polymer that irreversibly hardens or cures when heated. This hardening process is caused by chemical cross-links forming between the polymer chains. Once hardened, thermosetting materials cannot be melted or reshaped, and they are generally more heat-resistant, stronger, and more brittle than thermoplastic materials. Common examples of thermosetting materials include epoxy, silicone, polyurethane, and polyester resins.
