Science

Which outcome limits the adhesion between two polymers?

A)Reduced van der Waals forces
B)Increased electrostatic repulsion
C)Enhanced hydrogen bond formation
D)Elevated polymer chain entanglement

💡 Explanation

Weak van der Waals forces reduce polymer adhesion, because the London dispersion force needs close molecular contact to be effective. Therefore reduced van der Waals forces cause poor adhesion, rather than stronger electrostatic forces dominating the surface interactions.
