← ScienceWhich consequence results when thermal stresses cause bond disruption?
A)Polymer chain scission occurs.✓
B)Increased dielectric breakdown strength.
C)Enhanced glass transition temperature.
D)Crystallinity increases sharply.
💡 Explanation
Polymer chain scission occurs due to **bond dissociation**, because high thermal stresses break covalent bonds within the polymer chains. Therefore, the polymer degrades, rather than improving its electrical (B), thermal stability (C), or its structural (D) properties.
