The residual flow birefringence in the amorphous region can be calculated by the stress-optical rule during the nonisothermal flow and the subsequent relaxation.
Wales, The Application of Flow Birefringence to Rheological Studies of Polymers, Delft University, Rotterdam (1976).
Researchers have applied the stress-optical rule in numerical simulations of flow birefringence (4-9), wherein most of the studies have considered polystyrene (PS) with a high molecular weight.
