Accidental and methodical defects of generation of precision and ultraprecision surfaces of polymer optics

Widespread adoption of precision and ultraprecision articles from the polymeric materials creates a need for the understanding of a mechanism of the new high quality surfaces generation by the controlled fracture processes in the single-point diamond machining. The efficacious way for this understanding is a creation of the model of the surface layer forming process as result of the formation of its accidental and methodical defects by the precision microcutting.
