Why are thermoplastics used for packaging?
Thermoplastics are used for packaging because they can be softened and reshaped as many times as the material can take. This is good, because then they can be recycled and the plastic can be used again. Thermosetting plastics however, can only be shaped once, as the polymers bond together and are inseparable. This would mean for every piece of packaging more plastic would have to be made, which would be very bad environmentally, as a lot of crude oil and other resources would need to be used up. This cannot be sustained, therefore, thermoplastics are used instead.
Why are thermoplastics not used for making saucepan handles give scientific reason?
Because thermoplastic materials melt when they are heated !
What is the difference between thermoplastic and rubber?
Thermoplastics are a type of plastic that become moldable upon heating and solidify upon cooling, allowing them to be reshaped and recycled. In contrast, rubber is an elastic material that can undergo significant deformation and return to its original shape, often used for its flexibility and resilience. While thermoplastics typically have a rigid structure, rubber's properties make it suitable for applications requiring stretch and shock absorption. Additionally, thermoplastics can be more easily processed and manufactured compared to rubber.
