11.1 INTRODUCTION
A cluster model of polymers amorphous state structure allows to introduce principally new treatment of structure defect (in the full sence of this term) for the indicated state [1, 2]. As it is known [3], real solids structure contains a considerable number of defects. The given concept is the basis of dislocations theory, widely applied for crystalline solids behavior description. Achieved in this field successes predetermine the attempts of authors number [4-11] to use the indicated concept in reference to amorphous polymers. Additionally, used for crystalline lattices notions are often transposed to the structure of amorphous polymers. As a rule, the basis for this transposition serves formal resemblance of stress-strain (s-ε) curves for crystalline and amorphous solids.
