defiend thermoplastic and thermosets plastic with example
Answers
Answer:
hi frnd...
Thermoplastic polymers are linear (slightly branched) long chain polymers, which can be repeatedly softened and hardened on heating. Hence, they can be modified again and again. Examples include polythene, polystyrene.
Thermosetting polymers are cross-linked or heavily branched polymers which get hardened during the molding process. These plastics cannot be softened again on heating. Examples of thermosetting plastics include Bakelite...

Answer:
Thermoplastic is a class of polymer, which can be easily melted or softened by providing heat in order to recycle the material. Therefore, these polymers are generally produced in one step and then converted into the required article at a subsequent process. Furthermore, thermoplastics have covalent interactions between monomer molecules and secondary weak van der Waal interactions between polymer chains. This weak bonds can be broken by heat, and change its molecular structure.
Unlike thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics have superior properties like high thermal stability, high rigidity, high dimensional stability, resistant to creep or deformation under load, high electrical and thermal insulating properties, etc. This is simply because thermosetting plastics are highly cross-linked polymers that have a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms. The strong cross-linked structure shows resistance to higher temperatures which provides greater thermal stability than thermoplastics.
