Question

Define between thermoplastics and thermosetting ??

Answer 1

Answer:

Thermoplastics : - Plastics which have a linear arrangement of molecules are thermoplastics. These plastics can be deformed easily on heating and can be remoulded into a new shape. ... Thermosetting plastics : - Plastics which have a cross - linked arrangement of molecules are called thermosetting plastics.❤️❤️

Answer 2

Answer:

• A thermoplastic is a plastic polymer substance that becomes pliable or moldable at a high temperature before solidifying when cooled.
• Thermosetting plastic is a type of plastic that, once set, does not soften when heated and cannot be moulded again.

Explanation:

Thermoplastic

• The process of addition polymerization can be used to make thermoplastics.
• Injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding, thermoforming, and rotational moulding are all methods for processing thermoplastics.
• Secondary bonds exist between molecular chains in thermoplastics.
• Low melting temperatures and tensile strength characterise thermoplastics.
• When opposed to thermosetting plastic, thermoplastic has a lower molecular weight.

Thermosetting  

• Condensation polymerization is used to make thermosetting polymers.
• Compression moulding and reaction injection moulding are two methods for processing thermosetting plastic.
• Primary bonds hold molecular chains together in thermosetting polymers, which are held together by strong cross-links.
• The melting point and tensile strength of thermosetting polymers are both high.
• The molecular weight of thermosetting plastic is very high.
