Question

difference between thermo plastics and thermosetting plastics in points

Answer 1

1. Thermoplastics which can be easily melted and molded into a new article
2. Thermosetting plastics which when molded once, cannot be easily remolded by heating.
3. Thermoplastics can be recycled or reformed while thermosetting plastics cannot be recycled or reformed.
4. Thermoplastic can be synthesized by the process called addition polymerization. 5.Thermosetting plastics are synthesized by condensation polymerization.
6. Thermoplastics have low melting point while thermosetting plastics have high melting point.
7. Thermoplastics have low tensile strength while thermosetting plastics have high tensile strength.
8. Thermoplastics have secondary bonds between molecular chains while
9. Thermosetting plastics have primary bonds between molecular chains and held together by strong cross links.
10. Thermoplastics are subjected to disruption by heat while
11. Thermosetting plastics can withstand high temperature without losing its rigidity.

Answer 2

Answer:

Thermoplastics.

Though thermoset plastics and thermoplastics sound similar, they have very different properties and applications. ...

The primary physical difference is that thermoplastics can be remelted back into a liquid, whereas thermoset plastics always remain in a permanent solid state.
