What are advantages of thermoplastic?
Thermoplastic plastics melt when heated and therefore can be easily molded and recycled. In comparison, Thermoset plastics utilize a chemical reaction to cure and irreversibly set.
Why doesn't plasticine melt?
Plasticine doesn't melt because it is a non-thermoplastic material, meaning it doesn't change its chemical structure when heated. Instead of melting, it softens and becomes more pliable at higher temperatures, but will return to its original state upon cooling. Its composition, which includes oils and waxes, allows it to maintain its shape without liquefying, unlike typical plastics that can melt and flow when heated.
What happens to flow when pressure is increased?
Pressure decreases.
When can you increase the flow rate of a fluid in your daily life?
The flow rate of a fliud or liquid could be increased (depending on the situation) by increasing the amount of the fluid, then channelising this fluid into a narrow channel.
Does plastic melt the same as wax?
No, plastic and wax do not melt in the same way. Wax typically has a lower melting point and melts smoothly, becoming a liquid that can easily be molded. In contrast, plastics can have a wide range of melting points and may not melt uniformly; they can also degrade or emit fumes when heated. Additionally, some plastics can soften and become pliable without fully melting, while others may burn or char.
What don't melt?
Thermosetting plastics. Once cooled and hardened, these plastics retain their shapes and cannot return to their original form. Thermosetting plastics dont melt (i think) :)

Will a toilet melt in a fire?
It depends what it's made of. Normal ceramic is unlikely to melt but would probably crack. Steel might melt in an extremely hot fire. Plastics would melt.
What is the substances in the toner cartridge which makes the toner flow through the system better?
Plastics. To improve the quality of the printout, the carbon was melt-mixed with a polymer. Toner particles are melted by the heat of the fuser, and bind to the paper.
Will ice cream melt if the temperature is increased or decreased?
increased
Why are charges not able to flow through plastics?
Plastics are insulators, which means they have a high resistance to the flow of electric charges. This is due to the absence of free electrons that are necessary to carry electric current. As a result, charges are not able to flow easily through plastics like they can through conductors such as metals.
What plastics cannot absorb heat?
All material substances, including plastics of every type, can absorb heat to a greater or lesser degree (the measurement of heat absorbing ability is officially known as heat capacity). There are plastics that will melt if you heat them, but they still absorb heat, even as they melt.

How a solid change into a liquid?
Many solids will change into liquids if you heat them, for instance most metals will melt when subjected to heat, ice will become water when heated, some plastics will melt, glass will melt, and most rocks will also melt.

Are softer plastics easier to melt then hard plastics?
Usually thicker plastic takes longer to melt, but it's not necessarily "harder". Also keep in mind, melting plastic in a confined place will cause you to breathe in toxic fumes, so make sure to do it outside or with the windows open.
Should you put a paper cover or a plastic wrap cover in mircowave?
Probably paper. Some plastics melt.
