Which outcome results when excessive torsion forms in polypropylene?

A)Chain scission and strength reduction
B)Increased crystallinity and hardness
C)Enhanced thermal conductivity overall
D)Improved chemical inertness substantially

💡 Explanation

Chain scission occurs because mechanical stress weakens the molecular backbone; thus strain energy promotes chain scission, rather than improved physical properties; therefore strength decreases, rather than increases, given excessive torsion.
