★Thermoplastic polymer:
Those plastics which can be moldable on heating above a particular temperature and adapt a new shape on cooling, are called thermoplastic polymer. They mostly have high molecular weight
○Examples:
Polyethene, polypropylene and polystyrene.
★thermosetting polymers
The polymers (especially plastics) that once molded cannot be deformed or bent on heating are known as thermosetting polymers.
○Melamine is an example of thermosetting plastics.
