6. Answer in detail.
a) Differentiate between thermoplastics and thermosets.
​

Answer 1

$\boxed{\huge\underline{\mathscr\purple{♡ANSWER♡}}}$

${\huge{\mathfrak\green{thermoplastics:-}}}$

Thermoplastic can be synthesized by the process called addition polymerization.

Thermoplastic is processed by injection moulding, extrusion process, blow moulding, thermoforming process, and rotational moulding

Thermoplastics have secondary bonds between molecular chains.

Thermoplastics have low melting points and low tensile strength.

Thermoplastic is lower in molecular weight, compared to thermosetting plastic.

${\huge{\mathfrak\green{termosets:-}}}$

Thermosetting plastics are synthesized by condensation polymerization.

Thermosetting Plastic is processed by compression moulding, reactions

Thermosetting plastics have primary bonds between molecular chains and held together by strong cross-links.

Thermosetting plastics have high melting points and tensile strength.

Thermosetting Plastic is high in molecular weight.
