The first commercial applications of polymeric materials were thermosetting rubbers, which are called elastomers, and rigid thermosetting resins. Thermosets are of great importance for advanced composites, which originally were used for weight‐saving aerospace applications, for which specialty high‐temperature materials have been developed, but they are extensively used in many consumer sporting goods. This chapter describes the chemical structures of thermosets, including common elastomers and their applications. It focuses on thermosetting resins, high‐temperature thermosets, and thermoset elastomers. Various thermosetting resins covered in the chapter are phenolics, urea‐aldehyde‐based resins, allyl diglycol carbonate, thermosetting polyesters, vinyl esters, epoxies, sheet and bulk molding compounds, and polyurethanes. A large number of high‐temperature thermosetting resins are now available. The chapter discusses three representative resins, namley cyanate esters, bismaleimides, and polyimides.
