Which outcome accelerates molecular photochemical degradation in polymers?

💡 Explanation

Increased chromophore concentration enhances photochemical degradation because excited-state absorption causes direct bond scission and chain breakdown through *photolysis*. Therefore, degradation speeds up, rather than slowing down due to chain mobility or reinforcement under different conditions.
