Abstract
The orientational order generated in a polymer network by an uniaxial stress is probed with deuterium NMR. The experiments are performed either on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) network chains or on PDMS probe chains dissolved in the network. The stress-induced orientation observed on both kind of chains is explained by short-range, orientational correlations between chain segments.
