Thermoset vs Thermoplastic (What’s the difference?) Common examples are polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA), polyketone (PK), and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). Amorphous vs Semi-Crystalline Thermoplastics An amorphous thermoplastic material has no specific molecular structure while a semi-crystalline polymer has some order.
