Which of the following polymer is NOT a thermoplastic?
- ATeflon
- BNeoprene
- CPolystyrene
- DPolythene
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (b) Neoprene
Explanation
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber (an elastomer) made by polymerization of chloroprene, so it is not a thermoplastic.
Thermoplastics soften on heating and harden on cooling, and can be remoulded repeatedly.
Teflon, Polystyrene and Polythene are all true thermoplastics.
