Question
The polyester can be mixed with additional phthalic anhydride
(0.5 mole of phthalic anhydride for each mole of 1,2,3-propanetriol in the original
polyester) to form a liquid resin. When this resin is heated, it forms a hard, insoluble thermosetting polyester called glyptal.
Q.) Account for the fact that glyptal is a thermosetting plastic.
