Solution

Thermoplastics are polymers that soften when heated and harden when cooled, allowing them to be reshaped. This property makes them unsuitable for applications requiring high heat resistance, such as utensil handles, which are exposed to high temperatures during cooking and need to be made from thermosetting plastics that do not melt.

Final Answer: Handles of utensils
