Which consequence results when epoxy resin hardening fails?

💡 Explanation

Incomplete curing leaves unreacted monomers, weakening the polymer matrix. Because the polymer network does not fully form via crosslinking, water permeates the epoxy interface due to weak van der Waals forces, therefore corrosion risk increases rather than material being fully functional.
