Which outcome occurs when rapid heating causes an amorphous solid to undergo glass transition within a microfluidic device?

A)Increased brittleness halts fluid flow
B)Decreased viscosity enables uniform mixing
C)Crystallization obscures optical analysis
D)Decomposition releases interfering gas

💡 Explanation

Increased thermal energy causes decreased van der Waals radius, weakening intermolecular cohesion; this is plasticization. As viscosity decreases, fluid integrates the device because of efficient mixture, rather than crystal phase transitions at elevated temperatures; therefore, increased analysis occurs.
