Which risk increases when injection-molded polymer films experience thermal gradients?

A)Undesired thin-film interference fringes
B)Increased molecular cross-linking density
C)Elevated glass transition temperature
D)Reduced polymer chain entanglement

💡 Explanation

Thermal gradients during cooling exacerbate thickness variations, driving increased thin-film interference because optical path differences change with temperature; therefore fringes appear, rather than uniform optical properties, because thicknesses are uneven.
