Which outcome follows increased thermal stress aging polymer seals?

💡 Explanation

Above rated temps, chain mobility increases, and the permeation rate rises sharply because diffusion constant increases exponentially within a limited range. Therefore permeation and degradation accelerate, rather than the crosslinking effect, due to free volume increases in the matrix.
