Write the difference between thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics. Draw the arrangement of
polymer chains in thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics.

Explanation:
thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics.
Most linear polymers and branched structure polymers with flexible chains are thermoplastics. This is in contrast to thermosetting polymers, which do not soften when heated due to strong covalent crosslinks. Thermoset polymers are generally harder and stronger than thermoplastics and have better dimensional stability.
The primary difference between the two is that Thermoset is a material that strengthens when heated, but cannot be remolded or heated after the initial forming, while thermoplastics can be reheated, remolded, and cooled as necessary without causing any chemical changes.
