← ScienceWhich risk increases when a polymer composite's crosslinking density decreases?
A)Increased susceptibility to creep deformation✓
B)Enhanced resistance to solvent intrusion
C)Lower flammability at high temperatures
D)Improved dimensional stability during processing
💡 Explanation
Decreasing crosslinking weakens the network structure; the increased segmental motion allows for creep deformation via viscous flow because chain slippage becomes easier due to weaker Van der Waals forces rather than resisting stress.
