Why is bakelite known as a thermosetting polymer ?

Answer» Bakelite does not melt on heating and does not get back to its original state on cooling due to extensive cross linking within the polymer. Hence, bakelite is known as a thermosetting polymer.
58.

What is bakelite?What is its use? Why bakelite is said to be an example for thermo setting polymer?

Answer»
  • Bakelite is the condensation polymer of phenol and formaldehyde. 
  • It is used for the manufacture of electrical plugs and switches.
  • Bakelite contains cross linked molecules which on heating undergo extensive cross linking in moulds and again become in fusible. It cannot be reused. Hence, it is a thermo setting ploymer.
