Explanation of Solution
There are two types of polymers namely thermosetting and thermoplastics.
Thermoplastic polymers become soft on heating but thermosetting polymers does not become soft on heating.
Thermoplastic polymers have long linear chain and they are formed by addition polymerization. On the other hand, thermosetting polymers have 3D structure and they are formed by condensation polymerization reaction.
Thermoplastics can be reshaped and reuse because they are soft weak and less brittle but, thermosetting polymers cannot be reshaped due to their hard and strong nature.
Thermoplastics are soluble in organic solvent but thermosetting polymers are insoluble in organic solvents.
The thermoplastics are formed by monomer units which are covalently bonded and they have weak van der Waal of interactions between them. On the other hand, thermosetting polymers have strong cross-links and 3D network of atoms which are covalently bonded.
Thus from the above properties of thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers, thermoplastics can be easily recycled.
