Abstract

Through the examples of polycarbonate and poly(methyl acrylate), the evolution of the structure and properties of glassy polymers processed by equal-channel multiple-angular extrusion (ECMAE) were studied. It was demonstrated that ECMAE allowed the substantial improvement of the set of strain–strength characteristics of these materials, regardless of the direction of loading applied. With the use of the data from scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and dilatometry, we found that the simultaneous growth in the strength, plasticity, and impact resistance was related to the formation of a net of biaxially oriented polymeric chains, the decrease in the free volume, and the reinforcement of intermolecular interaction
