Description
Summary:A method was proposed to describe the effect of molecular and supermolecular parameters of partially crystalline polymers on the probability of formation of a continuous tie chain and some properties of materials. It was shown that their distribution function takes the form of a curvilinear trapezium. Deformation was simulated. It was shown that under certain conditions the number of chains holding the load in the amorphous region increases, reaches maximum value and then decreases with an increase in deformation, i.e. the material may be reinforced under these conditions. It was shown that the rate of deformation influences the number of continuous chains under stress.
