Abstract
The energy (thermal and mechanical) effects accompanying the elastic deformation of uniaxially oriented crystalline polymers have been investigated; it has been established that, when these polymers are stretched, heat is released. It is shown that the heat release in uniaxial tension is a consequence of localization of the elastic deformation in the poorly ordered regions of the polymer. The relation between the thermoelasticity of uniaxially oriented crystalline polymers and their supermolecular structure is examined.
