A thermoplastic, also called a thermosoftening plastic is a plastic which becomes pliable or moldable above a specific temperature and returns to a solid state upon cooling. Most thermoplastics have a high molecular weight. The polymolecules chains associate through intermolecular forces, which permits thermoplastics to be remolded because the int...
