i think its a thermoplastic I'm not too shore but when its heated it melts so yeah i guess so :)
The most familiar use of thermosetting plastic is the heat-resistant handle on metal cookware. It is also used for bottle caps, knobs and handles, and laminated counter tops. Thermosetting plastics retain their shape and strength even when heated.
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.
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.
Most plastic bottles are a mix of new and recycled plastic.
It's got to do with science
no
The answer is thermoset :)
UHMW stands for Ultra High Molecular Weight. Now it depends what the monomer is. UHMWPE would be thermoplastic not thermoset. But other UHMW polymers can be thermoset. It depends.
Thermosetting
Urea-formaldehyde is a thermoset plastic. Once it is cured, it undergoes a chemical reaction that permanently sets its shape, making it hard and durable. Thermoset plastics cannot be reshaped or melted once they are formed.
Most plastic do not conduct heat very well, This makes it ideal for handles on pans which makes it Thermoset.
The two types of plastics that start with thermo are thermoset plastic and thermoplastics plastic.hope that helps you! x
It is a thermoplastic! :)
thermoplastic
Thermoset plastics cannot change shape because they undergo a irreversible chemical reaction during the curing process. This reaction, known as crosslinking, creates strong bonds between the polymer chains, making the material rigid and inflexible. Once set, thermoset plastics cannot be melted or reshaped like thermoplastics.
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
Of course not .Because most of the beaker is made of plastic ,we are not often see beaker made of ceramic and metal
