Which of the following polymer is NOT a thermoplastic?

Which of the following polymer is NOT a thermoplastic? Correct Answer Neoprene

The correct answer is Neoprene.

Key Points

  • Neoprene is a family of synthetic rubbers.
  • It is produced by the polymerization of chloroprene.

Additional Information

  • Thermoplastics:
    • These are defined as polymers that can be melted and recast almost indefinitely.
    • They are molten when heated and harden upon cooling.
    • Some of the most common types of thermoplastic are polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, polystyrene, and polycarbonate.
