How does thermoplastic material differ from a thermosetting material?
Thermoplastic and thermoset materials both fall under the broad category of Polymers. The biggest difference between a thermoplastic and thermoset is that a thermoplastic can be recycled. Whereas a thermoset irreversibly cure. Thermoplastic: PE, PP, PVC. Thermoset: Bakelite, Epoxy.
Who discovered thermoplastic material and when?
The discovery of thermoplastic materials cannot be attributed to a single person, as it is a result of continuous advancements in polymer chemistry. However, some notable early contributors to the development of thermoplastics include Leo Hendrik Baekeland, who invented Bakelite in 1907, and Wallace Carothers, who synthesized nylon in the 1930s. Since then, thermoplastic materials have been further refined and expanded upon by numerous scientists and engineers.

What is thermal conductivity of Bakelite?
YES , Bakelite is a thermosetting plastic .
Can you re-use thermoplastic?
Basically there are two types of thermoplastic, thermoset and thermoform. Thermoset becomes hard when heated an example would be Bakelite. A thermoform plastic gets soft when heated and can be reformed. An example would be abs such as used in plastic pipe. Gil

Is bakelite used again?
Yes, bakelite is permanently used.
Is Bakelite expensive?
Very expensive if it's real Bakelite
