Abstract
An effect of ultrasonic treatment exerted on the structure and mechanical properties of polyacrylamide, polyhexene, polyethylene and oil paraffin solutions was investigated. Schemes are proposed for the destruction of polyhexene and polyethylene via a radical mechanism. It has been found that the acoustic impact on the oil paraffin solution in decane does not affect the nature of the molecular mass distribution for n-alkanes, but results in increasing the temperature of phase transitions and changing the shape of crystallites.
