ThermoplastIc materials (such as polyethylene, nylon, etc ) are melt-processable, meaning that they can be heated to a melt (liquid) phase, forced into a mold, and then cooled to form a pre-determined shape. Typical processes include injection molding, compression molding, and blow molding. Thermoplastic materials can, many times, be potentially ground up and re-processed many times as there is no chemical reaction that occurs. Thermoset materials (such as epoxy, and some polyesters), on the other hand, undergo a chemical reaction and cross-linking of the polymer chains and can not be can't be ground up and re-processed.

Who invented Thermo Plastic glue?

What is device used to convert temperature in to voltage?
temperature sensorAnswerA thermo-voltaic junction, or thermo-voltaic pile, is used for this purpose. A thermo-voltaic junction consists of two dissimilar metals connected together; as the temperature increases, an increasing potential difference arises between the two metals. A thermo-voltaic 'pile' is a number of thermo-voltaic 'junctions' connected in series.
What is the difference between welding of metals and plastics?
because of the difference in physical characteristics of thermoplastics and metals, there are corresponding differences between welding techniques for metals and thermo-plastics. in the welding of metal, welding rod and parent material become molten and fuse into the required bond to form welded joints. this is not in thermo plastics, because they are poor heat conductors , they are difficult to heat uniformly .. so diifferent methods are used to weld plastics...

Is the plastic ruler thermo or thermo setting?
Thermoplastics can be shaped easily by being cooled and heated time and time again. They suffer little degration by the heating and cooling. They are solid at room temp. Thermoset on the other hand cannot be repeatedly heated and cooled. if you try to re heat they become chared and do not re soften.
What is the difference between thermo plastics and set plastics?
thermo can be heated and manipulated unlited timed, but set can only be heated and manipulated once
