Which mechanism causes increased molecular weight in polyethylene production, limiting its melt flow?

💡 Explanation

Chain transfer to polymer backbone increases molecular weight by creating branches. Higher molecular weight lowers melt flow because polymer chains intertwine more readily; therefore, rather than reactions liberating chains limiting propagation, the increased molecule size becomes dominant.
