Abstract

A study of the curing processes of a pre-accelerated, unsaturated polyester resin by the method of IR-Fourier spectroscopy using the prefix of multiple disturbed total internal reflection was carried out. The optimal ratio of components has been obtained to achieve maximum polymer strength and minimum emission of harmful styrene into the environment.
