Which outcome occurs when epoxy resins exhibit thermal degradation?

💡 Explanation

As epoxy resin temperature increases, the rate of thermal degradation via chain scission increases because polymers degrade, destroying the covalent bonds rather than the crosslinking, therefore causing reduced structural integrity, rather than becoming more resistant because alternative chemical decomposition will ensue.
