Thermo plastics:
1.) Linear and lightly cross-linked polymers form a class of. Plastics called thermoplastics.
2.) Thermoplastics can be melted by heating and thereafter moulded into desired shapes. This is a reversible process.
3.) Eg:PVC and LDPE.
Thermosetting plastics:
1.) Heavy cross -linking after shaping the plastic forms a class of plastics called. Thermo setting plastics.
2.) Unlike thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics can not be remoulded after heating.
3.) Eg:melamine ans Bakelite

Answer:
The primary difference between the two is that Thermoset is a material that strengthens when heated, but cannot be remolded or heated after the initial forming, while thermoplastics can be reheated, remolded, and cooled as necessary without causing any chemical changes.
