Question

What is the difference between thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic? (2 difference)

Answer 1

.thermoplastics have linear polymers
thermosetting plastics have cross linked polymers
Thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics are two separate classes of polymers, which are differentiated based on their behavior in the presence of heat. The material difference between the two is that thermoplastics can be remelted, while thermoset plastics remain in a permanent solid state once hardened. As a result of these physical qualities, thermoplastic materials have low melting points while thermoset plastic products can withstand high temperatures without losing austerity.


hope this helps...........

Answer 2

Hey friend here is your answer_________
☆Thermoplastic---->
1.)Thermoplastic are made up of straight chain polymers or lightly-cross linked polymers.
2.)These class of plastics can be melted and moulded into desired shapes again and again.
Example=Teflon,PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and perspex.

☆Thermosetting plastics---->
1.)Thermosetting plastics are made up of polymers in which the monomers are highly cross-linked.
2.)This class of plastics can be melted and set into shape only once.They cannot be melted and moulded repeatedly.
Example=Melamine,Bekalite.
