Thermoplastic:-

A thermoplastic is a material, usually a plastic polymer, which becomes more soft when heated and hard when cooled. Thermoplastic materials can be cooled and heated several times without any change in their chemical or mechanical properties. When thermoplastics are heated to their melting point, they melt to a liquid.

Thermosetting plastic:-

A thermosetting plastic is a polymer that irreversibly becomes rigid when heated. Such a material is also known as a thermoset or thermosetting polymer. Initially, the polymer is a liquid or soft solid.

Answer 2

Answer:

There are two types of plastics:

Thermosetting plastics and Thermoplastics.

Thermosetting plastic cannot be bent easily. It may break when forced to bend.

Thermoplastic can be bent easily.

Thermosetting plastic cannot be softened by heating. Thus, it cannot be reshaped once moulded.

Thermoplastic can be softened easily by heating. Thus, it can be reshaped.
