Technically, A thermoset cannot be reused since it forms a structure that does not remelt easily and remelting this material can result in degradation and molecular weight changes. A thermoplastic however can be reused when mixed with a percentage of virgin material. This is the large benefit of utilizing a thermoplastic over a thermoset.
A kind of energy that can be used and reused any number of times.
Thermoplastics can be resoftened and remoulded several times,thermosetting can be heated and moulded only once into an irriversible shape.=)

Teflon is a thermoplastic.

thermosettings and thermoplastics. A thermoplastic can be remelted and reused, a thermoset cannot.
Yes. Thermoplastics are "heat-softening". Provided that you don't heat them to the point of destruction, thermoplastics can be remoulded and reused easily.
Teflon is a thermoplastic material. This means that it can be melted and reshaped multiple times without undergoing any chemical change.

Coffee grounds can typically be reused once before they lose their flavor and effectiveness.
That is the property of thermoplastics. If they could not be formed into different shapes many many times then nobody would bother to make them.
There is no limit as long as the size and shape can be used for the task at hand.
Yes, LDPE (low-density polyethylene) is a thermoplastic material. This means it can be melted and reshaped multiple times without undergoing any significant chemical change.
thermoplastic
Quartz is not thermoplastic. It is a mineral, primarily composed of silicon dioxide, and does not exhibit thermoplastic properties. Thermoplastics are a type of polymer that can be melted and reshaped multiple times, while quartz is a hard and stable material.
