Russian Translation(s) & Details for 'thermoset'

English Word: thermoset

Key Russian Translations:

• термореактивный [tʲɪrmɐrʲɪˈakʲtvɨj] - [Technical, used in scientific or industrial contexts]
• термонаборный [tʲɪrmɐˈnɑbərnɨj] - [Less common, Formal, specific to certain engineering fields]

Frequency: Low (This term is specialized and appears primarily in technical, scientific, or industrial discussions, not everyday conversation.)

Difficulty: B2 (Intermediate; requires familiarity with technical vocabulary and basic Russian grammar, as it involves adjectives with inflections.)

Pronunciation (Russian):

термореактивный: [tʲɪrmɐrʲɪˈakʲtvɨj]

термонаборный: [tʲɪrmɐˈnɑbərnɨj]

Note on терморактивный: The stress falls on the fourth syllable ("akʲtvɨj"), which can be tricky for English speakers due to the palatalized consonants (e.g., 'rʲ' sounds like a rolled 'r' with a soft edge). Pronounce it slowly to master the flow.

Audio: []

Meanings and Usage:

Primary Meaning: A type of plastic or polymer that hardens permanently when heated (e.g., in materials science).

Translation(s) & Context:

• термореактивный - Used in formal technical descriptions, such as in chemistry or manufacturing, to describe materials that undergo irreversible changes when heated.
• термонаборный - Applied in engineering contexts, emphasizing the setting process, often in product specifications.

Usage Examples:

• В промышленности часто используют терморактивный пластик для создания прочных деталей.

  In industry, thermoset plastic is often used to create durable parts.

• Термонаборный материал не плавится при повторном нагреве, что делает его идеальным для электроники.

  Thermoset material does not melt upon reheating, making it ideal for electronics.

• Инженеры предпочитают терморактивный полимер из-за его устойчивости к высоким температурам.

  Engineers prefer thermoset polymer due to its resistance to high temperatures.

• При производстве игрушек термонаборный пластик обеспечивает безопасность и долговечность.

  In toy manufacturing, thermoset plastic ensures safety and longevity.

• Терморактивный состав применяется в аэрокосмической отрасли для легких, но крепких компонентов.

  Thermoset compounds are used in the aerospace industry for lightweight yet strong components.

Secondary Meaning: Figurative or extended use in discussions of irreversible processes (rare in Russian).

Translation(s) & Context:

• термореактивный - Metaphorically in informal scientific writing, to describe processes that "set" permanently, though this is uncommon.

Usage Examples:

• В химии терморактивный процесс подобен окончательному решению, которое нельзя изменить.

  In chemistry, a thermoset process is like a final decision that cannot be altered.

• Иногда термонаборный эффект используется в метафорах для описания закаленного характера.

  The thermoset effect is sometimes used metaphorically to describe a hardened character.

Russian Forms/Inflections:

Both primary translations are adjectives, which inflect based on gender, number, and case in Russian. "Терморактивный" is a regular adjective and follows standard patterns, while "термонаборный" is also regular but may vary slightly in technical contexts.

For "термонаборный", the inflections are similar: e.g., Nominative singular: термонаборный (m.), and it does not have irregular forms.

Russian Synonyms/Antonyms:

• Synonyms:
  • термопластичный (similar but implies heat-resistant properties; used interchangeably in some contexts)
  • термоустойчивый (emphasizes heat stability, often in engineering)
• Antonyms:
  • термоплавкий (melts easily with heat)
  • неустойчивый (unstable, general opposite in material contexts)

Related Phrases:

• Терморактивный пластик в производстве - Thermoset plastic in manufacturing (refers to its application in industrial processes).
• Процесс термонаборного отверждения - The process of thermoset curing (describes the hardening mechanism).
• Изделия из терморактивных материалов - Products made from thermoset materials (common in product descriptions).

Usage Notes:

In Russian, "терморактивный" directly corresponds to "thermoset" in technical English, but it's more commonly used in scientific literature than everyday speech. Always consider the context: use it in formal or professional settings, and pair it with nouns like "пластик" or "полимер" for clarity. If multiple translations exist, choose "терморактивный" for general purposes and "термонаборный" for engineering specifics. Grammatically, ensure it agrees in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies.

Common Errors:

• Error: Confusing "терморактивный" with "термопластичный" and using it incorrectly in sentences. For example, learners might say: "Термопластичный пластик не плавится" (implying the wrong type). Correct: "Терморактивный пластик не плавится" – Explanation: "Термопластичный" refers to a different material property, so always verify the exact meaning before use.

• Error: Forgetting inflections, e.g., saying "терморактивный полимеры" instead of "терморактивные полимеры" in plural nominative. Correct: Use the proper plural form to maintain grammatical agreement – This is a common mistake for English speakers unfamiliar with Russian case systems.

Cultural Notes:

In Russian scientific and industrial culture, terms like "терморактивный" reflect the country's emphasis on engineering and materials science, stemming from its Soviet-era focus on heavy industry. While not culturally loaded, it highlights Russia's contributions to polymer technology, often discussed in educational contexts without deeper connotations.
