Answer:
6.Explain the difference between the thermoplastic and thermosetting plastics?
THERMOPLASTIC:
☆Are formed by additional polymerisation.
☆Usually have a linear structure.
☆Adjacent polymeric chains are held together by weak forces.
THERMOSETTING:
☆Are formed by Condensation polymerisation.
☆They have a 3 dimensional,cross linked structure.
☆Adjacent polymeric chains are held together by Crosslinks which are strong Covalent bonds.

Answer:
THERMOSETTING PLASTIC:-
- Thermoset plastics contain polymers that cross-link together during the curing process to form an irreversible chemical bond. The cross-linking process eliminates the risk of the product remelting when heat is applied, making thermosets ideal for high-heat applications such as electronics and appliances.
- Thermoset plastics significantly improve the material’s mechanical properties, providing enhances chemical resistance, heat resistance and structural integrity. Thermoset plastics are often used for sealed products due to their resistance to deformation.
THERMOPLASTIC:-
- Thermoplastics pellets soften when heated and become more fluid as additional heat is applied. The curing process is completely reversible as no chemical bonding takes place. This characteristic allows thermoplastics to be remolded and recycled without negatively affecting the material’s physical properties.
- There are multiple thermoplastic resins that offer various performance benefits, but most materials commonly offer high strength, shrink-resistance and easy bendability. Depending on the resin, thermoplastics can serve low-stress applications such as plastic bags or high-stress mechanical parts
