Linear polymers are normally_________________?
Correct answer: B. Thermoplastic
- A. Thermosetting
- B. Thermoplastic
- C. Elastometric
- D. Having extremely high softening point
Explanation
Linear polymer chains can slide past one another when heated, so they are normally thermoplastics and can be softened and remoulded. Thermosetting behaviour is associated mainly with highly cross-linked polymers.
