Question

Classify into thermosetting plastic and thermoplastics on the basis of their characteristics.
(1) The plastics that are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
(2) Plastics which when moulded once, cannot be softened by heating.
(3) The plastic which gets deformed easily on heating and can be bent easily.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Thermosets and thermoplastics come in a wide range of material options and can serve different applications as long as the limitations of the material are not likely to cause product failure under the intended operating conditions. The basic features of these materials remain the same: high versatility and recyclability. When it comes to useful applications in the real world, you would be hard-pressed to find a better example than the production of plastics through these two processes.
