Abstract
Polymer is defined as a substance consisting of molecules
that include a series of one or more than one monomer unit. The
purpose of this experiment to know the polymer material, knowing
the properties of polymers, thermoplastics and thermosets
differentiate. In the experiment, there are two types of polymers
are glue gun and polyester by heating the two polymers, the
observed changes in both the polymer and the polymer tested with
reflection test. From the experimental data we can conclude that
A is a thermoplastic polymer as softened when heated, low
melting point and can be reshaped. While thermoset polymer B is
due to the nature of the thermoset is hard, hardens when heated,
can not melt when heated and can not be reshaped.

Keywords : Polymer, Monomer, Thermoplastic, Thermoset
