Abstract: | ![]() Experimental results from a study of the shrinkage of polymers based on epoxy and polyester resins during the polymerization process are presented. The shrinkage was determined by wire strain gauges from the moment of transition of the polymer into a solid medium. An equation has been found which satisfactorily describes the laws governing chemical shrinkage with time."Plastopolimer" Scientific-Manufacturing Union, Leningrad.
