Addition of plasticisers to polymers results in partial neutralisation of intermolecular forces of attraction between the macro-molecules thereby increasing its__________________?
Correct answer: C. Flexibility
- A. Tensile strength
- B. Chemical resistance
- C. Flexibility
- D. All A., B. & C.
Explanation
Plasticisers reduce intermolecular attraction and increase chain mobility, making the polymer softer and more flexible. They do not generally increase tensile strength or chemical resistance.
