Prediction of Frozen-In Birefringence in Oriented Glassy Polymers Using a Molecularly Aware Constitutive Model Allowing for Finite Molecular Extensibility
A study has been made of birefringence in oriented glassy polystyrene. The aim was to develop a methodology for the prediction of birefringence in glassy polymers with frozen-in molecular orientation. The predictive approach employed was to use a recently proposed constitutive model, consisting of a...
