Thermosofting is the name of a plastic that has weak bonds between the molecules, so when the plastic is heated the bonds between the molecules break allowing the plastic to become soft. When the plastic is cooled again the forces between the molecules bring them back together. This causes the plastic to harden.

I hope that's OK.
