Which consequence results when excessive mechanical stress ruptures cross-linking?

💡 Explanation

When mechanical stress ruptures cross-linking in elastomers, it lowers network connectivity because chain segments become mobile; therefore entanglement decreases, rather than increased temperature shift or stability against reaction, due to bond breakage.
