Which consequence results when a polymer's crosslinking fails?

💡 Explanation

Reduced resistance to solvent dissolution occurs because the crosslinking provides network structure, and its loss creates weaker intermolecular forces. Network breakdown occurs rather than strength enhancements because the polymer strands no longer effectively transfer load; thermal stability isn't inherent and UV degradation remains external.
