Abstract: | Light scattering from a swollen textured heterogeneous polymer network is discussed using example of a network composite filled by spherical inclusions anisotropically distributed in the matrix. The dependence of the scattering intensity on the Fourier transform of the correlation function dry-state shear moduli fluctuations has been established. Hv scattering patterns from uniaxial textures and their ratio with the composite anisotropy parameter are analyzed. The sensitivity of the Hv scattering pattern on restrictions during the swelling is emphasized. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |
