Which consequence results when thermal stresses cause bond disruption?

💡 Explanation

Polymer chain scission occurs due to **bond dissociation**, because high thermal stresses break covalent bonds within the polymer chains. Therefore, the polymer degrades, rather than improving its electrical (B), thermal stability (C), or its structural (D) properties.
