Which risk increases significantly when epoxy-amine adhesives experience high-temperature degradation?

💡 Explanation

High temperatures trigger thermal decomposition of the epoxy-amine matrix, reducing adhesion. The dominating mechanism is chain scission, which cleaves covalent bonds. Therefore, tensile strength declines because covalent bonds weaken, rather than changes in crosslinking or physical properties under stress.
