| Abstract: | The supermolecular structure and mechanical characteristics of polycarbonate can be controlled by introducing artificial structure-forming nuclei during processing into machine parts. The changes in the supermolecular structure and mechanical characteristics of the polycarbonate under cyclic loading on an hydraulic test bench are examined. The magnitude and distribution of the stresses in polycarbonate parts have been determined by means of strain-gage measurements, and recommendations are given for selecting the optimal part dimensions.Moscow Mendeleev Chemical Engineering Institute.
