| Abstract: | A relationship between the amount of thermal shrinkage and the structural parameters of polyethylene extruded in the solid
state and polymerization-filled compositions based on it is studied. It is shown that thermal shrinkage is determined by the
fractal dimension of the polymer structure and the degree of stretching of the molecular chain.
