Abstract

Literature data on molecular mobility in glassy polymers have been analyzed. It has been shown that, in the temperature range corresponding to the glassy state of a polymer, a large-scale (segmental) molecular motion is possible, with this motion being responsible for the physical (thermal) aging of the polymer. Heating of an aged polymer restores its initial state, and the aging process begins again (effect of “rejuvenation”). At the same time, aging processes may be initiated by a mechanical action on a glassy polymer. It is sufficient to subject an aged polymer to a mechanical action to transfer it to a state characteristic of a polymer heated above the glass-transition temperature. It should be noted that deformation of a glassy polymer is nonuniform over its volume and occurs in local zones (shear bands and/or crazes). It is of importance that these zones contain an oriented fibrillized polymer with fibril diameters of a few to tens of nanometers, thereby giving rise to the formation of a developed interfacial surface in the polymer. The analysis of the published data leads to a conclusion that the aging of a mechanically “rejuvenated” polymer is, as a matter of fact, the coalescence of nanosized structural elements (fibrils), which fill the shear bands and/or crazes and have a glasstransition temperature decreased by tens of degrees.
