Which outcome results when polymer melt viscosity rises excessively during extrusion?

💡 Explanation

Increased viscosity will cause greater resistance to flow, impacting how the polymer relaxes as it exits the die; the mechanism here is viscous dissipation. Therefore, die swell increases notably rather than surface tension decreasing, because viscosity dominates at lower relaxation rates.
