Question
What are thermoplastic polymers?
Solution
Thermoplastic polymer :-
Their properties are in between elastomers and fibers. These polymers are called thermoplastic as on heating they become soft and on cooling become hard. Hence these polymers can be remoulded and recycled. example PVC

Assertion: Polyamides are best used as fibres because of high tensile strength.
Reason: Strong intermolecular forces (like hydrogen bonding within polyamides) lead to close packing of chains and increase the crystalline character, hence, provide high tensile strength to polymers
