define thermoplastic and thermosetting. material with suitable example
Answers
Thermoplastics are defined as polymers that can be melted and recast almost indefinitely. They are molten when heated and harden upon cooling. When frozen, however, a thermoplastic becomes glass-like and subject to fracture.
Examples of thermoplastic materials are polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyamides, polyesters, and polyurethanes.
Thermosetting plastics, such as phenol-formaldehyde, cannot be remouldedCompare thermoplastic.
Examples of thermosetting plastics include bakelite, urea-formaldehyde resins.
thermoplastic - denoting substances (especially synthetic resins) that become plastic on heating and harden on cooling, and are able to repeat these processes.
example - polypropylene, polyethylene
thermosetting - A thermosetting polymer, resin, or plastic, often called a thermoset, is a polymer that is irreversibly hardened by curing from a soft solid or viscous liquid prepolymer or resin. Curing is induced by heat or suitable radiation and may be promoted by high pressure, or mixing with a catalyst.
example - epoxy, silicone
