Calendering is a special manufacturing process in which large volumes of rolled thin plastic films and sheets are produced from abulk feedstock using a set of consecutive heated rolling steps as shown in the figure below. Based on your understanding of thebehavior of polymers, which of the statements below regarding calendering of polymers are accurate?(This question has more than one correct answer)FeedstockSheetstock a. The rollers are heated so that the thermoset polymers cure as they travel through the rollersb. Thin sheets of PVC and polypropylene can both be produced with this process, however, it is not suitable for polyethyleneglycolС.This process can be used for both thermosets and thermoplastics. However, it is more suitable for thermoplastics as theysoften at temperatures much lower than their melting temperature.d. This process is unsuitable for thermoset polymers because once hardened and cured, they cannot be re-melted and re-shaped

Please make sure to display your thought process? It is imperative to be able to follow how the answer was deduced. Please be as thorough as possible. Please address all parts of this question as they are all part and critical to answering this question correctly. Please show good integrity when answering the question: Strain-rate, temperature, pressure, and aging time all affect the stress/strain behavior of polymers. Draw a stress-strain curve below for a typical ductile polymer. Clearly label the yield point and the ultimate tensile strength. Using this curve draw two new curves corresponding to same polymer but now tested at: 1) an increase in temperature and 2) an increase in strain rate. Explain what happens to the tensile behavior after: a) a prolong time of aging time is increased and b) when the tensile tests are conducted under super imposed hydrostatic compression
