Which outcome arises when a semi-crystalline polymer is heated above its glass transition temperature under tensile load?

💡 Explanation

Increased chain mobility promotes creep due to the increased kinetic energy available to overcome the van der Waals forces in the amorphous region, enabling chain slippage; therefore, creep increases rather than brittle fracturing, because crystalline regions remain intact unless heated much higher.
