Different types of Plastics
Material which can be easily moulded into any desired shape on heating is called a ‘plastic’. Plastics are synthetic (man – made) polymers. Plastics form an important class of synthetic materials. In plastics, the arrangement of the individual units may be linear or cross-linked.
Raw Material For Plastics :
Petroleum product such as ethane, propane, benzene, toluene etc. are the raw materials for the plastics. These materials are either directly polymerized or first converted into suitable monomers chemically and then polymerized to form plastics.
Kinds of Plastics :
1. Thermosetting plastics
2. Thermoplastics
Cross- linked polymers have side chains or cross-links, which connect different polymer chains. These can be of two types: thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics.

My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
