Conclusion
Optical methods can be used in studying the kinetics of mechanical fatigue, thermal, and radiation aging; some general characteristics and differences in the development of these processes in elastomers with higher extinction can be detected with them. The sensitivity of the measurements is increased by the rational selection of the light wave-length of preliminary homogeneous biaxial stretching. A decrease in the thickness attained by deformation by one order of magnitude did not convert the optical medium to the class of singly scattering media, but the changes in the optical properties in aging were more pronounced against the background of decreasing extinction.
