Answer 1

ABS
Acrylic
Nylon
Polycarbonate
Polystyrene

Question 2

Name 4 thermosetting polymers

Answer 2

Epoxy
Polyester and melamine resin
Polyurethanes
Vulcanised rubber

Question 3

What are the effects of heat on thermoplastics?

Answer 3

Thermoplastics are much less resistant to high temperatures and can melt or deform when exposed to heat.

Question 4

What are the effects of heat on thermosettings polymers?

Answer 4

Thermoset plastics can withstand high temperatures without melting, making them ideal for applications involving exposure to extreme heat.
