Which consequence arises when insufficient binder curing occurs within Mughal Pietra Dura inlay?

💡 Explanation

When the binder does not fully cure, its polymer crosslinking is weak, resulting in a low glass transition temperature. The low Tg increases the mismatch in the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) between the stone and the binder; therefore, expansion leads to cracking versus maintaining structural integrity with the inlay.
