Because, it has no crosslinks therefore its molecules move more freely. On the other hand, some other polymers, such as Bakelite, are crosslinked and you cannot turn then into a liquid without breaking the covalent bond.
polythene bag has a higher melting point
Polyethylene (polythene) is a waxy solid polymer formed from ethylene gas monomer under high temperature and pressures.
Polystyrene is highly inflammable and releases toxic fumes when burned. Bakelite does not readily catch fire but can burn when exposed to high temperatures. Polythene is a thermoplastic that is highly flammable and can melt when subjected to heat, releasing hazardous fumes.
It does melt.
When polythene is exposed to heat, it softens and can ultimately melt. This is because the heat increases the kinetic energy of the polymer chains in polythene, allowing them to move more freely and weakening the overall structure of the material. Continued exposure to high heat can further break down the polymer chains and eventually lead to decomposition.
Yes you can melt it. But you want a high temperature.
i believe its thesame as your body temperature that's why it melt in your mouth and pocket
Ice will melt at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Polythene, also known as polyethylene, is a type of plastic that exists as a solid at room temperature. It is not a gas in its standard form, but can be converted into a gas when heated to high temperatures.
Polythene is also known as polyethylene. Polythene is a type of plastic that is widely used in packaging and many of the plastic products we use today. You see polythene in all shapes and sizes. Polythene is such a widely used product because it is easy to bend it and mold it into the shape that you want. This action of molding the plastic is called thermosetting. Polythene is heated to high temperatures and molded into the shape that is desired. Then the object is set aside and cooled. Once the object is at room temperature (or close to it) the object will not break or bend so readily. Now, if you take the prefix of thermosetting you just have "thermo." Thermo is typically used with words meaning temperature or heat. Because polythene is a plastic and it can be set in its shape by heat, it is called thermoplastic.
Increasing the melt temperature the material can be transformed in a gas.
