The effect of ball milling on semicrystalline bisphenol A polycarbonate (PC
) has been studied. The degree of crystallinity obtained in the recrystalli
zation process of the samples amorphized by milling has been related to the
crystallinity of PC prior to the grinding. Some differences have been foun
d between PC amorphized by milling and by quenching from the liquid state.
