Is vulcanized rubber a thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic?

Vulcanized rubber is a thermosetting material. It undergoes a chemical process called vulcanization, which involves cross-linking the rubber molecules, resulting in a stable and rigid structure that cannot be remolded or melted upon heating. Unlike thermoplastics, which can be reshaped when heated, thermosetting plastics like vulcanized rubber maintain their form and properties even at elevated temperatures.
