The studies carried out earlier have shown that polymer film samples strength to a considerable extent is defined by growth parameters of stable crack in local deformation zone (ZD) at a notch tip [1-3]. As it has been shown in Refs. [4, 5], the fractal concept can be used successfully for the similar processes analysis. This concept is used particularly successfully for the relationships between fracture processes on different levels and subjecting fracture material microstructure derivation [5]. This problem is of the interest in one more respect. As it has been shown earlier, both amorphous polymers structure [7] and Griffith crack [4] are fractals. Therefore, the possibility to establish these objects fractal characteristics intercommunication appears. The authors of Refs. [8, 9] consider stable cracks in polyarylatesulfone (PASF) film samples treatment as fractals and obtain intercommunication of this polymer structure characteristics with samples with sharp notch fracture parameters.
