Question

write difference between thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers​

Answer 1

The primary physical difference is that thermoplastics can be remelted back into a liquid, whereas thermoset plastics always remain in a permanent solid state. Think of thermoplastics as butter – butter can be melted and cooled multiple times to form various shapes.

Answer 2

thermoplastic polymer: - which polymer and linear and slightly long chain molecules capable of repeatedly softening on heating and hardening on cooling .

ex :-

polythene

2) thermosetting:-this polymer are cross linked or heavily branched polymer which on heating undergo extensive cross linking in moulds and again become infusible.

ex:- bakelite
