Question

differentiate between thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics

Answer 1

THERMOPLASTICS:

1. Thermoplastics are linear polymers.

2. They undergo no chemical change in the molding operation.

3. They can be softened again and again.

4. These plastics can be reused.

5. These are soft and flexible.

6. They are affected by certain solvents.

7. Thermoplastics are not fireproof.

THERMOSETTING PLASTICS:

1. Thermosetting plastics are cross- linked polymers.

2. They undergo chemical change in the molding operation.

3. They cannot be re-softened once they hard.

4. These plastics cannot be reused.

5. These are hard and brittle.

6. They are unaffected by any solvent.

7. Thermosetting Plastics are fireproof.

Answer 2

Hey friend,

Here is the answer you are searching for,

Thermoplastic : Plastics switch sofen on heating and can be remoulded.

Thermosetting plastics : Plastics which do not soften on heating and cannot be remoulded.

HOPE IT HELPS YOU.
