Which risk increases when a polymer's glass transition temperature nears operating temperature?

💡 Explanation

Increased creep occurs because the polymer chains gain mobility due to Van der Waals Forces weakening above the glass transition, therefore significant deformation happens at lower stresses rather than resisting. Chemical degradation is not directly tied to this transition.
