Within polymer adhesives, which outcome prevents adhesive failure during high temperature creep?

💡 Explanation

Increased polymer cross-linking prevents chain slippage via covalent bond formation because this hinders polymer chain mobility under stress at elevated temperatures. Therefore, creep resistance increases, rather than chain slippage seen with weaker interactions.
