Preferred Label : resin;
IUPAC definition : Soft solid or highly viscous substance, usually containing prepolymers with reactive
groups.;
Scope note : use of the term resin to describe the polymer beads used in solid-phase synthesis
and as polymer supports, catalysts, reagents, and scavengers is also discouraged.; the term is sometimes used not only for prepolymers of thermosets, but also for cured
thermosets (e.g., epoxy resins, phenolic resins). use of the term for cured thermosets
is strongly discouraged.; this term was used originally because of its analogy with a natural resin (rosin)
and designated, in a broad sense, any polymer that is a basic material for plastics,
organic coatings, or lacquers. however, the term is now used in a more narrow sense
to refer to prepolymers of thermosets (thermosetting polymers).;
