Which consequence results when intramolecular forces weaken within polymer chains?

💡 Explanation

A lower glass transition temperature occurs because a weakening of Van Der Waals forces increases chain mobility; this allows the polymer to transition from a glassy to a rubbery state at a lower temperature, therefore reducing the Tg rather than enhancing other mechanical/chemical properties.
