Thermoplastic resins are powdered polymeric materials capable of softening and melting upon exposure to heat. In contrast to other materials, thermoplastic resins can be cooled and solidified without undergoing significant chemical changes in composition. Their ability to melt and flow under controlled conditions makes them particularly suitable for handling fragile materials. A property of the thermoplastic resin is its transparency once cooled, enabling clear visibility through the specimen. This transparency makes it useful for applications where visual inspection or clarity is important.
