A polymer that, when heated ('thermo') does not become soft and deformable. This is usually because it is crosslinked, and the molecules compriising it cannot move past one another unless chemical bonds are actually broken - which leads to the decomposition of the polymer. Phenol-formaldehyde resin is an example.

thermoset, thermosetting 1. A classification for materials that become hardened or cured by the application of heat; such as, acrylic resin. 2. A description of a group of polymers which soften when initially heated, then harden and condense in bulk and retain a permanent shape. They cannot be softened or reprocessed by reheating.

Type of plastic that remains rigid when set, and does not soften with heating. Thermosets have this property because the long-chain polymer molecules cross-link with each other to give a rigid structure. Examples include Bakelite, resins, melamine, and urea–formaldehyde resins

A material that will undergo or has undergone a chemical reaction by the action of heat and pressure, catalysts, ultra-violet light, etc., leading to a relatively infusible state. Typical of the plastics in the thermosetting family are the aminos (melamine and urea), most polyesters, alkyds, epoxies, and phenolics.
