Which outcome accelerates epoxy thermosetting when increasing temperature?

A)Increased polymer chain mobility
B)Reduced crosslink reaction enthalpy
C)Increased average polymer crystallinity
D)Overall change in phase equilibrium

💡 Explanation

Accelerated curing arises as *Arrhenius kinetics* dictate a temperature-dependent reaction rate because, polymer chains gain vibrational energy with more free rotation; therefore, monomers explore conformational space more quickly, resulting in more crosslinks rather than delayed solidification thresholds.
