Abstract
The physicomechanical properties of polymer glasses are studied during compressive deformation. The results obtained are used to propose a procedure for a universal description of their deformation and relaxation behavior using physically grounded normalized parameters and stable numerical relationships between the basic mechanical properties of a material.
