Low-frequency IR- spectra of glassy polymers were obtained and analyzed at temperatures from 90 to 400K. Temperature changes in the IR- spectra in the range from 10 to 140 cm-1 show three universal features: low-temperature, corresponding to the torsional-vibrational motion of monomer units, high-temperature, due to the influence of primary relaxation (glass transition) and intermediate, caused by the activation of conformational mobility in chains at a temperature of β - transition. This versatility extends both to polymers with universal chain-to-chain interactions and to those with hydrogen bonds.
