Abstract

The shrinkage of a thermosettable composition comprising an unsaturated polyester and a vinyl monomer capable of cross-linking the polyester is reduced during cure by the addition to the composition of an alkylene oxide polymer which is soluble in the thermosettable composition but which is substantially less soluble in the cured thermoset composition.
