Abstract
On the basis of a phenomenological analysis of the temperature dependence of the modulus of instantaneous elasticity and the stress relaxation process, it is suggested that in the region of small deformations there are no breakages of the macromolecules that might affect the elasto-relaxational behavior of highly oriented polymers (fibers) as in the region of large deformations. To judge from the values obtained for the energy constants, these properties are determined by the number of intermolecular bonds in the amorphous regions (modulus of instantaneous elasticity) and the physical events associated with the reorganization of these bonds and hindered rotation of the chain units (relaxation process).
