Notes:
Abstract A simple, physical model has been developed to describe orientation in thermoplastic polymers, involving the boundary slip and rotation of rod-like structural elements. Orientation parameters have been calculated, and expressions for the birefringence and elastic mechanical anisotropy deduced. Results on cold-drawn, low-density polyethylene agree well with this model.
