Abstract
Slip-link model of an entangled chain is used to calculate average orientation of chain segments. The results in the asymptotic regime of very long chains prove linear dependence of optical anisotropy on stress despite complex stress-strain relation. The linear stress-optical law is predicted both for a single chain and a model network subjected to uniaxial deformation. The calculated stress exhibits non-linearity in Mooney-Rivlin plot. Effects due to entanglements are proportional to assumed number of slip-links per chain.
