Thermoplastics are polymers that soften and melt upon heating, allowing them to be reshaped. Neoprene (polychloroprene) is a synthetic rubber (an elastomer) that is typically cross-linked during processing, making it behave more like a thermosetting polymer rather than a thermoplastic. It does not melt reversibly upon heating.
Which of the following polymer is NOT a thermoplastic?
