Which is an example of thermosetting polymer?
Which is an example of thermosetting polymer?
Options
- ABakelite
- BPolystyrene
- CNylon 6,6
- DPolyvinyl chloride
Correct answer
A. Bakelite
Step-by-step solution
Thermosetting polymers are cross-linked or heavily branched molecules, which on heating undergo extensive cross-linking in moulds and become infusible. They cannot be reused.
Bakelite is formed by the condensation reaction of phenol with formaldehyde, resulting in a highly cross-linked thermosetting polymer.
Polystyrene and Polyvinyl chloride are thermoplastic polymers, while Nylon 6,6 is a fibre.
