Thermosetting materials are the polymeric materials which get soften on heating with or without pressure.
View Answer Explanation
Thermosetting plastics are generally used for making products of high strength and rigidness.
Which of the following types of molecular structure present in thermosetting polymers?
Polyurethanes plastics can be made in flexible foams even after belonging to thermosetting polymers.
Polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are the main example of thermosetting polymers.
Thermosetting plastics like epoxies can be used for filament wound rocket motor casings in missiles by combining with glass fibers.
Polyurethane plastics are highly reactive to chemical compounds due to lack of elasticity in these plastics.
Phenolic plastics can also be used as binder for holding plies of wood in making of plywood.
Thermosetting plastics can be used for manufacturing of windshield for airplane.
Mechanical properties of any plastics are mainly dependent on the temperature, force and time of load applied.
