Types of Plastics - Thermoplastics , Thermosets, Elastomers - Kavita Jain - 08-20-2014

Thermoplastics
Reversible in phase by heating and cooling. Solid phase at room temperature and liquid phase at elevated temperature.

Thermosets
Irreversible in phase by heating and cooling. Change to liquid phase when heated, then follow with an irreversible exothermic chemical reaction. Remain in solid phase subsequently.

Elastomers
Elastic in behaviour under load also know as Rubbers.
