Which consequence results when a polymer's crosslinking saturates?

💡 Explanation

Increased crosslinking concentrates covalent bonding. The decreased polymer chain mobility increases material tensile strength because of limited slip, therefore stiffening occurs, rather than scission, thermal effects, or flow changes.
