Which consequence results when thermal decomposition alters epoxy bonds?

💡 Explanation

Decomposition breaks cross-linking via chain scission. Chain scission reduces molecular weight because epoxy bonds break leading to decreased rigidity, therefore structural integrity suffers rather than improved electrical properties, chemical resistance, or transition temperature changes.
