Question

what is thermoplastic

Answer 1

A thermoplastic, or thermosoftening plastic, is a plastic material, a polymer, that becomes pliable or moldable above a specific temperature and solidifies upon cooling. Thermoplastics differ from thermosetting polymers, which form irreversible chemical bonds during the curing process. 

Answer 2

Hey !!

These polymers possess intermolecular forces of attraction intermediate between elastomers and fibres. These are linear or slightly branched chain polymers capable of repeatedly softening on heating and hardening on cooling.

Example :- PVC , Teflon etc.
