Which outcome occurs when rapid cooling causes incomplete Crystal Nucleation during amorphous polymer synthesis?

A)Increased material brittleness occurs accordingly
B)Enhanced tensile strength gets realized
C)Higher corrosion resistance follows rapidly
D)Density remains unchanged systematically

💡 Explanation

Increased brittleness occurs because rapid cooling restricts the ordering of polymer chains, preventing full crystallization via Crystal Nucleation; therefore, disordered regions create stress concentration points, rather than improved strength due to uniform crystal structures.
