Thermoset vs Thermoplastic (What’s the difference?)
Thermoplastic materials are not molecularly cross-linked and can be reprocessed or recycled.
Amorphous vs Semi-Crystalline Thermoplastics
An amorphous thermoplastic material has no specific molecular structure while a semi-crystalline polymer has some order.
