Answer to Question 1

Increase chain length

Answer to Question 2

Strength is a measure of the polymer chains' tendency or ability to limit inter-chain movement. Similarly hardness is defined by a polymer chain's ability to move among other chains. Both properties measure similar inter-chain interactions.
