Explain the difference between thermoplastic and thermosetting plastics.
Answers
Explanation:
Thermoplastics plastics are plastics that can be re-moulded even after moulding it. Example polyethylene.
Thermosetting plastics are plastics that cannot be re-moulded after moulding you t once. Example Bakelite.
Hope it helps you if so please mark me as the branliest.
Answer:
Thermoplastic:
1)thermoplastic are those polymers in which the intermolecular forces of attention are intermediate between those of elastomer and fibres.
2)These polymers do not have any cross links between the chain
3)they can be easily moulded on heating
4) they soften on heating and become hard on cooling, e.g PVC, POLYSTYRENE etc....
Thermosetting plastics:
1) HAVE extensive cross links formed between polymer chain on heating e.g Bakelite, melamine
Highly recyclable
Aesthetically-superior finishes
High-impact resistance
Remolding/reshaping capabilities
Chemical resistant
Hard crystalline or rubbery surface options
Eco-friendly manufacturing
