Which consequence results when van der Waals forces fail within polymer chains?

A)Increased tensile strength observed
B)Reduced thermal expansion occurs
C)Intermolecular slippage will increase
D)Enhanced chemical resistance arises

💡 Explanation

Increased temperature causes chains to slide because the London dispersion forces weaken with rising temperature, therefore intermolecular slippage increases; rather than other outcomes where increased temperature would have negligible impact provided polymers remain intact.
