Question

Which of the following is applied on thermoplastic polymers?

Select one:
a. Their shape is determined as part of the chemical process groups
b. They can be melted and reshape
c. They are not easily recycled
d. They couldn't bend over

Answer 1

Answer: b. They can be melted and reshape

Step-by-step explanation:

Thermoplastic polymers are those polymers which change their shape on applying heat and thus mean they are held by weak forces. Example: polythene.

Polythene can be melted and made into different shapes

Thermosetting polymers are those polymers which do not change their shape on applying heat and thus mean they are held by strong forces. Example: bakelite which is used in making electrical switches.
