Detailed Solution

A thermoplastic is a plastic polymer material that becomes moldable when it attains a certain elevated temperature and then it solidifies upon cooling. They consist of linear polymer chains which are linked with the help of weaker attractive forces as compared to thermosetting plastic.

Thermoplastics are resistant to most chemicals. They are easy to burn, and bend and they also do not conduct electricity.
