Abstract

Degree of orientation is an important parameter for the oriented high polymer, determining shock strength and elongation at break. An optical method sensitive to the well-oriented sample, was originated at our lab, and named as rotating linear polarization imaging. This method expresses the polarization difference as a function of multi-incident and multi-detection polarization angles. A parameter, α, is fitted and the resulting α image shows the 2-dimensional spatial distribution of the orientation of sample. Experiments are designed to acquire the α images when stretching is performed under different directions according to changes of the degree of orientation; and these α images are compared with the normal case in which no stretching is performed. The acquired α images show that when stretching along the orientation of sample (enlarge degree of orientation), the values of α become larger than the normal case, and at the perpendicularity direction (reduce degree of orientation), the values are smaller. Experiments show that á could characterize the degree of orientation well and indicate the potential of our method to measure the degree of orientation of high polymer.
