Which mechanism limits molecular packing density in amorphous polymers?

💡 Explanation

Steric hindrance prevents close packing because bulky side chains repel each other, therefore reducing achievable density, rather than attractive forces packing them, or backbone flexibility, which may favour ordered states instead.
