Which outcome reduces polyethylene tensile strength when exposed to high temperatures?

💡 Explanation

When exposed to high temperatures, increased chain mobility occurs because thermal energy overcomes intermolecular forces, leading to greater slippage between polymer strands. Therefore tensile strength is reduced, rather than enhanced crosslinking, crystallinity, or chain-end degradation which have different activation energies.
