Thermoplastic olefin is a plastic that helps absorb the energy from a crash or bump. And when you crash into something that is also made of thermoplastic olefin, it will bump back to you which will cause different forces. Like in Newtons first and third law of motion
thermoplastic
Thermoset
I know of nothing called a "thermostat polymer".Perhaps you meant "thermoset plastic", which undergoes polymerization and sets when heated.The other type is "thermoplastic" which is already polymerized and hard, but softens when heated.
Thermoplastic materials soften when exposed to heat, making them less resistant to high temperatures compared to thermoset materials. The specific heat resistance of thermoplastics varies depending on the type of polymer used. It is important to consider the heat resistance of a thermoplastic when selecting a material for a specific application.
Thermoplastic and thermoset materials both fall under the broad category of Polymers. The biggest difference between a thermoplastic and thermoset is that a thermoplastic can be recycled. Whereas a thermoset irreversibly cure. Thermoplastic: PE, PP, PVC. Thermoset: Bakelite, Epoxy.

The answer is thermoset :)
A plastic spoon is a thermoplastic. If heated further, it becomes pliant and it can be melted or remolded.
It is a thermoplastic! :)

i think its a thermoplastic I'm not too shore but when its heated it melts so yeah i guess so :)
No. Elastomer = possesses elasticity. As with most rubbers, neoprene is an elastomer. Thermoplastic = can be melted and re-formed. Neoprene is a thermoset material, which means that it will chemically degrade instead of melting.
Yes, it is the polymer of the olefin propylene.
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.
