Explain the relationship between plastic crystallinity and sensitivity to solvent attack

What will be an ideal response?


Highly crystalline polymers have strong secondary bonds that resist the formation of solvent-polymer bonds or, perhaps, require the formation of more or stronger solvent-polymer bonds to achieve solvent penetration into the polymer network. Hence, crystallinity reduces solvent sensitivity.
