Identify thermosetting polymer from following.
- Correct answerAUreaformaldehyde resin
- BPolystyrene
- CBuna-S
- DTerylene
Solution
Thermosetting polymers are cross-linked or heavily branched molecules, which on heating undergo extensive cross-linking in moulds and become infusible. These cannot be reused.
Examples of thermosetting polymers include Bakelite, urea-formaldehyde resins, and melamine-formaldehyde resins.
Polystyrene is a thermoplastic polymer.
Buna-S is an elastomer.
Terylene is a fibre.
Answer: Ureaformaldehyde resin
