Which consequence results when epoxy polymerisation exceeds threshold?

💡 Explanation

Weak intermolecular covalent forces lead to reduced tensile strength; therefore, incomplete polymerisation results in a brittle product because the crosslinking density via van der Waals forces is insufficient, rather than enhanced resistance or higher modulus if fully cured.
