Thermoplastic and Thermosetting Polymers. ... 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.

Thermoplastic polymers :

Plasticity is a property of being easily shaped or moulded. Thermoplastic polymers are capable of repeated softening on heating and hardening on cooling. These polymers possess moderately strong intermolecular forces that are intermediate between elastomers and fibres. For example : polythene, polystyrene, polyvinyls, etc

Thermosetting polymers :

Themosetting polymers are rigid polymers. During their formation they have property of being shaped on heating; but they get hardened while hot. Once hardened these become infusible; cannot be softened by heating and therefore cannot be remoulded. This characteristic is the result of extensive cross linking by covalent bonds formed in the moulds during hardening/setting process while hot. For example : bakelite, urea formaldehyde resin, etc.
