The deformation recovery at room temperature of a polycarbonate after large tensile deformation and subsequent stress relaxation is measured as a function of time. The effect of the main parameters which affect the amount of recovered deformation is analyzed. This suggests a plot of the recovery versus time curves by means of proper coordinates which allow shifting of all curves towards a single master curve, thus indicating that most of the phenomena involved in the recovery process are taken into account.
