Answer:
The answer is option (b)Thermosetting materials
Explanation:
A thermosetting polymer, commonly known as a thermoset, is a polymer made up of crosslinked structures or molecules with a lot of branches.
- On heating, these polymers that are in a soft solid or viscous state undergo substantial cross-linking processes, resulting in irreversibly hard and insoluble products.
- Thermosetting plastics may be molded and pressed into shapes once heated. They can't be warmed once they've been set since they're permanently set.
- Thermosetting plastics are synthesized by condensation polymerization and they are high in molecular weight
Examples are bakelite, urea-formaldehyde, and melamine formaldehyde
