Thermoplastics are the polymers

A

that can be moulded at room temperature of above but when heated more strongly become hard infusible dut ot formation of cross-links between the polymers chains.

B

that are hard at room temperature but on heating became soft and viscous, and can be moulded

C

that are amorphous and have elastic properties.

D

from which fibres used in textiles can be made

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The intemolecular forces of attraction in thermoplastic polymers are intermediate between elastomers and fibres. As a result, these can he easily mouled by heating.
