Which effect increases when polyethylene experiences chain scission?

A)Polymer chain mobility increases overall
B)Crystallinity within the plastic increases
C)Tensile strength increases substantially
D)Resistance to thermal creep is higher

💡 Explanation

Increased chain scission leads to shorter polymer chains; therefore, rotational freedom increases because the effect reduces the entanglement between polymer strands, rather than increased crystallinity.
