Abstract
A study has been made of the structure of specimens of glassy polyethyleneterephthalate, polycarbonate and polymethylmethacrylate stretched in adsorption-active liquid media containing low molecular weight inorganic salts. After evaporation of the liquid medium low molecular weight substances crystallizing in porous polymer structure form highly ordered textures. In view of the results of structural investigations we surmise that the observed phenomenon is due to a special sort of epitaxy occurring when low molecular weight substances crystallize in tiny pores that are asymmetrical and oriented in relation to one another. These tiny pores are a feature of the structure of polymers deformed in adsorption-active media.
