The properties of synthetic polymers vary as it depends on the polymer. Synthetic polymers are created for certain uses so a useful property for a Nappie would be that it absorbs liquid through thermogels however this would not be a useful property for a raincoat as it would absorb the water rather than repeal it.

Is a kitchen worktop a thermo plastic?
No, a kitchen worktop is typically made of materials like granite, quartz, wood, or laminate, which are not thermoplastics. Thermoplastics are a type of plastic that can be melted and reshaped multiple times.
Can you name 10 different facts about thermoplastics?
* acrylonite butodine styrene * acrylic * celluloid * cellulose acetate * ethylene-vinyl acetate * styrene-acrylonitrile * polyvinylidene chloride * polyvinyl chloride * polyvinyl acetate * polyurethane
why only thermoplastics can be recycled?
Thermoplastics can be recycled because they can be melted and remolded multiple times without significant degradation to their properties. This is not the case for thermoset plastics, which undergo irreversible chemical changes when heated, making them difficult to recycle.
What is the melting point of a plastic thermoset?
The melting point of thermoplastics depends on the particular type of thermoplastics. The melting point varies from 160 Degrees Celsius to 350 Degrees Celsius for engineering thermoplastics. When it comes to high temperature thermoplastics, the melting point varies from 3593 to 4010 Degrees Celsius.
What are the methods of preparation of Thermoplastics and Thermoset plastics?
Thermoplastic operations involve blowing a heated plastic into a mold. The end product is hollow. Thermoset plastics are sheets of plastic heated and place over two parts of a mold that come together. The end result is not hollow.
Who uses thermoplastics?
Kayaks can be made out of thermoplastics, a company called delta makes a bunch.
What are names of some commonly used thermoplastics?
Acetal is a commonly used name for a family of thermoplastics. Its chemical name is PolyoxyMethylene.Another commonly used name for thermoplastics is Hotmelt.
Why are thermoplastics are not used for making saucepan handles?
because they melt... read thermoplastics very slowly
Are thermoplastics sustainable?
Thermoplastics can be both sustainable and unsustainable, depending on their production, use, and disposal. While some thermoplastics are recyclable and can be made from renewable resources, many are derived from fossil fuels and contribute to environmental issues like pollution and waste. Advances in biodegradable thermoplastics and recycling technologies are improving their sustainability profile. Ultimately, the sustainability of thermoplastics hinges on responsible production, usage, and end-of-life management.
When do you need thermoplastics?
Thermoplastics are polymers that can be molded above a certain temperature. They are needed to manufacture such plastics as acrylic, nylon and polystyrene.
What qualities do thermoplastics have?
different ones
What are uses of thermoplastics?
In thermoplastics, the process of softening by heating and hardening on cooling can be repeated again and again to soften the plastic to get different shapes.
Is thermoplastic where you can remold it?
Yes. Thermoplastics are "heat-softening". Provided that you don't heat them to the point of destruction, thermoplastics can be remoulded and reused easily.
Can we substitute thermosetting plastics with thermo plastics?
Thermoplastics are the only ones that can be recycled. Thermosets cannot be recycled.
What are 4 types of thermoplastics?
nose and bannanas
What two families of plastic are there?
thermoplastic plastics (recyclable)thermosetting plastics (non-recyclable)
Are there any bad things about thermoplastics?
Thermoplastics can have lower temperature resistance compared to thermosetting plastics, meaning they might soften or deform under high temperatures. Additionally, some thermoplastics can be more prone to chemical degradation when exposed to certain solvents or chemicals.
