"thermoplastic" is not specific. If you are looking for general information
wikipedia's page on thermoplastics is impressive.

A general manufacturing process with chemistry involved can be found here:
Vinyl Council Australia - Making PVC
and more with diagrams can be found here:

I would start by talking about the history of natural plastics such as cellulose then get into synthetic plastics and just what a
polymer is. But, it really isn't our style here to write someone's report. If in the course of writing your report you find you do not understand something or have a specific question then we can help you work out the problem.
Good luck,
