Question

why is thermosetting plastic can not be recycled?; give reason,,

Answer 1

Thermosetting plastic cannot be recycled.Because Thermosetting plastic contains cross linked chain polymers Where as thermo plastics contain linear chain polymers.

It is difficult to deform the matierial which is made up of cross linked chain polymers.But it is possible to deform the linear chain polymer plastic.
