← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a fluoropolymer degrades within vacuum?
A)Surface conductivity will eventually increase
B)Chain scission frees fluorine radicals✓
C)Cross-linking reduces material flexibility.and
D)Crystallinity inhibits gaseous byproduct release
💡 Explanation
Fluoropolymer degradation releases fluorine due to chain scission of its backbone; this free radical mechanism results because weaker bonds break under vacuum conditions, therefore fluorine escapes rather than remaining bound and increasing conductivity.
