Thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics have distinct differences in behavior after heating, with thermoplastics melting and reshaping while thermosets retain their solid form due to cross-linking. The key variations lie in their molecular structure, microstructure, polymerization process, melting point, recyclability, mechanical properties, solubility, chemical resistance, and processing methods.
