Question

Different between themoplastic and themosets

Answer 1

THERMOPLASTIC ARE MADE OF PLASTIC WHICH CAN BE RECYCLE AND CAN BE RESHAPED.

THERMOSETS ARE PLASTICS WHICH CANNOT BE RESHAPED .

Answer 2

Answer:

• Thermoplastic can be synthesized by the process called addition polymerization.
• Thermosetting plastics are synthesized by condensation polymerization.
• Thermoplastic is processed by injection moulding, extrusion process, blow moulding, thermoforming process, and rotational moulding.
• Thermosetting Plastic is processed by compression moulding, reaction injection moulding.
• Thermoplastics have secondary bonds between molecular chains.
• Thermosetting plastics have primary bonds between molecular chains and held together by strong cross-links.
• Thermoplastics have low melting points and low strength.
• Thermosetting plastics have high melting points and tensile strength.
• Thermoplastic is lower in molecular weight, compared to thermosetting plastic.
• Thermosetting Plastic is high in molecular weight.
