Which outcome occurs when exceeding the decomposition temperature of PMMA?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding PMMA's decomposition temperature causes chain scission because thermal energy breaks covalent bonds within the polymer chains, therefore shorter chains result, rather than increased crystallinity or crosslinking which require different reactions and forming new bonds.
