11 of 14
How could you make high and low density Polythene?
Using different catalysts
12 of 14
What is the difference between Themosetting and Themosoftening?
Thermosetting has cross links to hold the structure together when heated. Thermosoftening has no cross links and doesn't hold in place when heating
