Abstract
The Hv small-angle light-scattering patterns from cross-linked swollen rubbers containing glass bead filler particles are shown to arise from the birefringence patterns associated with the inhomogeneous swelling in the vicinity of the particles. Theoretically calculated patterns are obtained by using the stress field calculated by Sternstein and are found to agree with the experimental results.
