← ScienceWhich consequence results when heating a thermosetting polymer?
A)Covalent cross-linking continues, solidifying.✓
B)Van der Waals forces weaken.
C)Hydrogen bonds promote chain scission.
D)Ionic bonds induce dipole formation.
💡 Explanation
Heating a thermosetting polymer causes covalent cross-linking within the material to continue because curing accelerates based on heat. As cross-linking increases the original material solidifies, therefore the matrix hardens rather than melting as in thermoplastic polymers.
