Which consequence results during rapid cooling below glass transition temperature?

💡 Explanation

Increased brittleness results because solidification bypassing crystallization leads to vitrification. This mechanism prevents the formation of ordered crystalline structures, therefore glassy materials are often more brittle, rather than achieving equilibrium order.
