← ScienceWhich risk increases within aircraft fuel bladders after repeated flexing?
A)Covalent bond cracking in polymer chains✓
B)Increased hydrogen bond crosslinking
C)Ionic bond destabilization of additives
D)Van der Waals force augmentation
💡 Explanation
Fatigue cracking increases after flexing due to mechanochemical degradation. This breaks down covalent bonds within the bladder's polymer chains, therefore, leading to fuel leaks, rather than increased crosslinking or van der Waals forces which stiffen the polymer.
