Which risk increases when epoxy adhesives experience electron beam radiation?

💡 Explanation

Reduced adhesive bond strength occurs because radiation-induced scission disrupts covalent crosslinking. Chain scission weakens intermolecular forces; therefore, the adhesive fails at lower stress, rather than gaining other characteristics under radiation.
