The aim of the article is to discuss the characteristics of structural transformations occurring under ultra-high plastic deformation in polymeric materials of various types: semi-crystalline and amorphous polymers, polymer blends and composites, polymer powders, and their influence on properties. Methods of obtaining ultra-high plastic deformations such as the equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) process and its modified version - the equal channel multi-angular extrusion (ECMAE) process - are considered.
