Thermoplastic vs Thermoset Thermoplastic refers to the property that a substance can flow and deform when heated, and can maintain a certain shape after cooling. Most linear polymers exhibit thermoplasticity and are easily processed by extrusion, injection or blow molding. Thermosetting refers to the property that it cannot be softened and molded repeatedly when heated, and it cannot be dissolved in solvents. Bulk polymers have this property. Thermosetting is a chemical change. After being heated, the structure has changed and … Continue reading Thermoplastic vs Thermoset
