Which risk increases to a material during molecular 3D printing which deposits heated polymer layers beyond their thermal stability limit?

💡 Explanation

Increased monomer backbiting can occur because exceeding the polymer's thermal stability limit promotes chain scission and depolymerization via a backbiting mechanism. Therefore, structural integrity is threatened, rather than just expansion or crystallization. Backbiting removes monomers from a growing chain.
