What else can I help you with?
Do thermo plastics of cross links between chains?
Thermosetting plastics
Why are thermo plastic and thermosetting plastic different?
Thermoplastics plastics can be heated and then moulded into a shape or form, but thermosetting cannot. Each plastic can be moulded into a 'shape or form', it is just that thermoplastics, once they have been moulded, they can be re-heated and moulded again, where-as once thermosetting plastics have been moulded, if re-heated and you try to remould it, it will just make it brittle and snap instead.
Why are thermosetting plastics not affected by solvents to the same extent as thermoplastics?
Thermosetting plastics are not significantly affected by solvents because of their cross-linked molecular structure, which forms a rigid, three-dimensional network that provides enhanced chemical resistance. In contrast, thermoplastics have linear or branched structures that allow them to soften and dissolve in solvents. This difference in molecular arrangement means that thermosetting plastics maintain their integrity and shape when exposed to solvents, while thermoplastics can be compromised. Thus, thermosetting plastics are more stable and durable in harsh chemical environments.
Is cling film a thermosetting?
No, cling film is not a thermosetting material. Thermosetting materials are plastics which harden irreversibly when heated, while cling film is a thermoplastic material that softens when heated and hardens when cooled.
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.
Is wire coating an example of thermosetting plastics?
yes wire coating is an example of thermosetting plastics!!!!
What is the opposite of thermosetting plastics?
the opposite to thermosetting plastic is thermoplastic
What is the definition of Thermosetting plastics?
Plastics which once moulded into a shape do not become soft on heating and cannot be moulded again are called thermosetting plastics.
What two families of plastic are there?
thermoplastic plastics (recyclable)thermosetting plastics (non-recyclable)
What is unbreakable plastics?
mostly thermosetting plastics like bakelite
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) :)
Do thermo plastics of cross links between chains?
Thermosetting plastics
Can we substitute thermosetting plastics with thermo plastics?
Thermoplastics are the only ones that can be recycled. Thermosets cannot be recycled.
What are the names of the two main gropes of plastics?
By properties they are Thermosetting plastics and Thermoplastics
What are three thermosetting plastics?
Bakelite Epoxy Duroplast
What type of plastic does not 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) :)
What are the 2 different types of plastics called?
i think the answers you are looking for are thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics :)
