Which consequence results when prolonged UV exposure cleaves polymers?

💡 Explanation

Prolonged UV exposure breaks covalent bonds via photo-oxidation leading to chain scission. This Bond Dissociation Energy mechanism reduces the average molecular weight and polymer chain entanglement; therefore tensile strength drops, rather than conductivity increasing, because conductivity needs free electrons.
