Birefringence of filled rubbers
The birefringence change occuring upon stretching a rubber containing spherical isotropic filler particles is calculated as a function of the volume fraction of the filler. The stress concentration arising from the presence of the filler particles leads to an enhanced birefringence of the rubber. Fr...

| Zusammenfassung: | The birefringence change occuring upon stretching a rubber containing spherical isotropic filler particles is calculated as a function of the volume fraction of the filler. The stress concentration arising from the presence of the filler particles leads to an enhanced birefringence of the rubber. From a consideration of the detailed birefringence pattern about a spherical particle within a stretched rubber, the enhancement of the retardation is calculated as a function of the volume fraction of the filler particles. |
