← ScienceWhich consequence results when epoxy resin curing suffers inhibition?
A)Increased crosslink density forms
B)Reduced tensile strength results✓
C)Crystallization rate accelerates
D)Monomer conversion approaches unity
💡 Explanation
Inhibited curing results in regions with incomplete polymerization, leading to shorter polymer chains due to premature chain termination. This reduces the overall crosslinking density via chain stopping, therefore reduced tensile strength results rather than increased strength, because complete crosslinking is prevented.
