the structure of thermol softening is very soft molecules which can be broken down easily and also another term malleable (which means can be bent). overall the structure is hard but can be transformed easily due to weak bonds!

∙ 13y agoALL plastics soften on heating even if only slightly. Thermosetting examples include two-pack epoxies etc. Thermoplastic would include Polyethylene, polypropylene etc

Is cheese plastic?
No, only fake cheese is plastic.
Which keeps things colder plastic wrap or aluminum foil data?
It would definitely have to be plastic wrap because plastic wrap is an insulator, which aluminum is not.

Why didn't the Romans use plastic for their water pipes?
Plastic was not invented during that time period.
What is the volume of a domino?
Depends upon whether it's wood or plastic; plastic's possibly more denser.
What is the difference between thermosoftening and thermosetting?
Thermosoftening is when the bonds between molecules in a plastic are weak so that the plastic can easily soften. Thermosetting is when the bonds are strong so that the plastic can only be softened once and when it is, that is the only time that you can shape it.
How can bottles be changed into new plastic objects by using thermosoftening plastic?
by recycling it and taking it to a factory
What is an example of thermoset plastic?
Any plastic that if you put a flame to it , it will char/ burn/go black. NB A thermosoftening plastic is one , if heted, will just change shape. As a 'rule of thumb' opaque plastics are thermosetting; clear plastics are thermosoftening.
What is the opposite of thermosoftening?
Thermosetting, these plastics are rigid, resistant to higher temperatures compared with thermoplastics and once set, a thermosetting plastic cannot be remoulded.
Types of thermosoftening plastics?
Thermosoftening plastics soften and can be given any shape when hot. The different types thermosoftening plastics are Polyethylene, Polystyrene, Poly Vinyl Chloride, ABS plastics.
What are the advantages of thermosoftening?
stuff
Why do thermosoftening plastics soften when heated?
Better known as thermoplastic, its' plastic which goes soft when it's hot, and hard at normal temperature. most plastics around us are thermoplastics. you can heat them, up, change their shape, then let them cool down as many times as you want. thermosetting plastics on the other hand, start out as a resin, which you can heat up or melt then make into the desired shape, after that though, they can't be reshaped like thermoplastics can.
What holds together thermosoftening plastics?
gravity! gravity!
What are thermosettings and therosoftening polymers?
Polymers are plastic. Thermosoftening is hard when it is cold and flexible when it is warm. Thermosetting is flexible when cold and hard when hotThermosetting plastics are polymers that, once heated, melted and moulded, cannot be re-moulded as the bond between their molecules are too strong. Thermosoftening plastics are polymers which can be re-moulded many times as the bonds between the molecules are very weak. Thermosetting plastics can only be shaped once. Thermosoftening plastics can be shaped and re-shaped many times. :) hope this is helpful x
What are the uses of thermosoftening polymers?
they are used fibre glass and carbon fibre
