Question

Thermosetting polymers differ from Thermoplastics primarily because

• A. Thermosets have a linear molecular structure and can be reshaped by heating
• B. Thermosets possess a three-dimensional cross-linked network that prevents melting
• C. Thermoplastics have higher thermal stability than thermosets
• D. Thermosets are formed exclusively by addition polymerization

Hint:

Think of thermoplastics like candle wax (can be melted and solidified repeatedly).
Think of thermosets like a baked cake (once cured/baked, reheating it will only burn it, not melt it back into batter).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
