    - The molecular structures of thermoplastic and thermosetting materials are different.

    - Thermosetting materials contain strong cross linking in their molecular structure.

    - The plastic becomes rigid and infusible, when these linkings are formed by heat and pressure.

    - Thermoplastic materials have long chains with limited numbers cross linkings.

    - Below diagram shows the molecular structures of thermoplastic and thermosetting materials.
