Answer:
Thermosoftening plastics melt when they are heated. ... This means that they can be recycled , which involves melting them before making a new product. Thermosoftening plastics do not have covalent bonds between neighbouring polymer molecules, so the molecules can move over each other when heated and the plastic melts.

Answer:
Polystyrene is typically (but not always) a homopolymer meaning that it is composed only of the monomer styrene in combination with itself. Depending on the type of PS it could be classified as a “thermoplastic” or a “thermoset” material. The name has to do with the way the plastic responds to heat.
