Which risk increases when a polymer composite's crosslinking density decreases?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing crosslinking weakens the network structure; the increased segmental motion allows for creep deformation via viscous flow because chain slippage becomes easier due to weaker Van der Waals forces rather than resisting stress.
