Correct statement for thermoplastic polymer is

A

It does not become soft on heating uder pressure

B

It cannot be remoulded

C

It is either linear or branched chain polymer

D

It is a cross-linked polymer

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Thermoplastic polymers are linear of slightly branched polymers in which the intermolucular forces of attraction are intermediate between elastomers and fibres. These polymers soften on heating and become rigid on cooling. The process of softening , moulding and cooling can be repeated as often as desired . It is not a cross-linked polymer.
