what is thermosetting plastic ?
Answers
Answer:
A thermosetting plastic often called a thermoset, is a polymer that is irreversibly hardened by curing from a soft solid or viscous liquid prepolymer or resin. Curing is induced by heat or suitable radiation and may be promoted by high pressure, or mixing with a catalyst. It results in chemical reactions that create extensive cross-linking between polymer chains to produce an infusible and insoluble polymer network.
A Lewis structure is a structural representation of a molecule where dots are used to show electron positions around the atoms and lines or dot pairs represent covalent bonds between atoms.

Thermosetting plastics:-
Thermosetting plastics is the plastics which can become rigid when heated.
Examples:-
melamine , formaldehyde
Uses of thermosetting plastics are:
It is used in making containers and pipes that come in contact with reactive chemicals.
It is also usedas a lubricant to reduce wear from friction between sliding parts, such as gears, bearings and bushings.
