Question

Name two types plastics on heating which we will use day to day life

Answer 1

Plastics can be divided into two categories: thermoset and thermoplastic.

Thermoset plastics are the ones when cooled and hardened retain their shape and cannot return to original form. Durability is a big benefit which means that they can be used for tires, auto parts, aircraft parts, and more.

Thermoplastics are less hard than the thermosets. They can become soft when heated and can return to their original form. They are easily molded to be formed into fibers, packaging, and films
