Thermoplastics are a type of plastic material that becomes moldable upon heating and solidifies upon cooling. This process can be repeated multiple times, allowing for recycling and reshaping without significantly altering the material's properties. Key characteristics of thermoplastics include: 1. **Reversibility**: They can be melted and reshaped repeatedly, making them versatile for various applications.
