Abstract
The molecular model of an elastomeric network with local intermolecular correlations, given by Flory, is used to calculate the components of the molecular deformation tensor and molecular orientation. Effects of molecular parameters such as severity of entanglements, network inhomogeneities and conditions during cross-linking are discussed. Components of molecular deformation and orientation are calculated for a network under uniaxial stress.
