Which risk increases when cross-linked polymer films degrade under UV radiation?

A)Chain scission becomes more pronounced
B)Crystallinity of increases sharply locally
C)Glass transition temperature plateaus faster
D)Hydrogen bonding becomes irreversibly stronger

💡 Explanation

Chain scission occurs because UV exposure facilitates photochemical degradation of the bonds in polymer chains, thereby weakening its structure; therefore, A is correct rather than options B/C/D which would require different triggers.
