Calendering is a special manufacturing process in which large volumes of rolled thin plastic films and sheets are produced from abulk feedstock using a set of consecutive heated rolling steps as shown in the figure below. Based on your understanding of thebehavior of polymers, which of the statements below regarding calendering of polymers are accurate?(This question has more than one correct answer)FeedstockSheetstock a. The rollers are heated so that the thermoset polymers cure as they travel through the rollersb. Thin sheets of PVC and polypropylene can both be produced with this process, however, it is not suitable for polyethyleneglycolС.This process can be used for both thermosets and thermoplastics. However, it is more suitable for thermoplastics as theysoften at temperatures much lower than their melting temperature.d. This process is unsuitable for thermoset polymers because once hardened and cured, they cannot be re-melted and re-shaped
