Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

True, there are several types of polymers, thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers.

Thermosets are characterized by having a reticulated structure, so they have low elasticity and cannot be stretched when heated.

Because of the above, thermosetting polymers burn when heated.
