Which risk increases when an epoxy adhesive degrades?

A)Component delamination under thermal stress
B)Oxidative embrittlement in a polymer matrix
C)Galvanic corrosion from dissimilar metals
D)Creep deformation at high stress levels

💡 Explanation

Component delamination increases because the Van der Waals force disruption within the epoxy causes reduced adhesion with substrates under thermo-mechanical cycling. This effect results from adhesive bond failures between layers, therefore delamination occurs rather than other failure modes like bulk cracking.
