← ScienceWhich outcome results when high humidity reduces molecular hydrogen bonding in nylon fibers?
A)Increased fabric stretch and deformation✓
B)Enhanced thermal insulation properties
C)Improved chemical resistance to solvents
D)Heightened structural compressive strength
💡 Explanation
Increased humidity disrupts hydrogen bonds between nylon polymer chains leading to chain slippage through plasticization, therefore increased stretch occurs because of weaker intermolecular attraction, rather than enhanced thermal insulation or chemical resistance.
