Which risk increases when polymers exceed glass transition?

💡 Explanation

Thermoplastics weaken because *increased molecular chain mobility* causes reduced intermolecular forces at temperatures above the glass transition. Increased failure risk is due to decreased tensile strength, therefore reducing material integrity, rather than altering thermal or corrosion properties.
