Which outcome develops when alkane solvents degrade a neoprene seal?

💡 Explanation

The neoprene swells because alkane infiltration causes induced dipole-dipole dispersion forces weakening the intermolecular bonds within the polymer matrix; therefore swelling leads to seepage, rather than hardening due to crosslinking or maintaining sealing during constant stresses.
