Which consequence results when thermal stress exceeds epoxy's limit?

💡 Explanation

When the system undergoes excessive thermal stress, chain scission occurs because the heat energy breaks the covalent bonds within the epoxy polymer, therefore the bond strength decreases rather than remaining constant or only slightly reducing outgassing.
