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.
