Thermosetting, these plastics are rigid, resistant to higher temperatures compared with thermoplastics and once set, a thermosetting plastic cannot be remoulded.

What is the difference between thermosoftening and thermosetting?

Thermosoftening is when the bonds between molecules in a plastic are weak so that the plastic can easily soften. Thermosetting is when the bonds are strong so that the plastic can only be softened once and when it is, that is the only time that you can shape it.

What are thermosettings and therosoftening polymers?

Polymers are plastic. Thermosoftening is hard when it is cold and flexible when it is warm. Thermosetting is flexible when cold and hard when hotThermosetting plastics are polymers that, once heated, melted and moulded, cannot be re-moulded as the bond between their molecules are too strong. Thermosoftening plastics are polymers which can be re-moulded many times as the bonds between the molecules are very weak. Thermosetting plastics can only be shaped once. Thermosoftening plastics can be shaped and re-shaped many times. :) hope this is helpful x


Why do thermosoftening plastics soften when heated?

Better known as thermoplastic, its' plastic which goes soft when it's hot, and hard at normal temperature. most plastics around us are thermoplastics. you can heat them, up, change their shape, then let them cool down as many times as you want. thermosetting plastics on the other hand, start out as a resin, which you can heat up or melt then make into the desired shape, after that though, they can't be reshaped like thermoplastics can.

If you have to be opposite on opposite day can there ever be an opposite day if you are opposite on opposite day?

If you have to be opposite on opposite day, that makes it a day, and then there was no opposite day. But that can't be true since you HAVE to be opposite, which means that you have to be normal even though there is an opposite day because you are supposed to be opposite on opposite day, which means that you act normal as if it was a normal day, because that is the opposite of opposite day. (This is a classic "liar's paradox". Since there is already an opposite day, you should have a normal day because that is the opposite of an opposite day. But then it is not an opposite day.)
