Question

Write the differences between thermosetting plastics and thermo plastics Pls dont give useless answer And its urgent

Answer 1

THERMOPLASTICS

• Thermoplastic can be synthesized by the process called addition polymerization.

• Thermoplastic is processed by injection moulding, extrusion process, blow moulding, thermoforming process, and rotational moulding.

• Thermoplastics have secondary bonds between molecular chains.

• Thermoplastics have low melting points and low tensile strength.

• Thermoplastic is lower in molecular weight, compared to thermosetting plastic.

THERMOSETTING PLASTICS

• Thermosetting plastics are synthesized by condensation polymerization.

• Thermosetting Plastic is processed by compression moulding, reaction injection moulding.

• Thermosetting plastics have primary bonds between molecular chains and held together by strong cross-links.

• Thermosetting plastics have high melting points and tensile strength.
• Thermosetting Plastic is high in molecular weight.
